    I dont think you can I hate the bear one so sad I tried to change my ad choices and still get that everytime.
    I would like to be a glow-worm.
    A glow-worm's never glum.

    Adblock + noscript. Stops everything.

    I have the sound off unless I'm using it, plus I think I'm immune to adverts now, I never even notice ones on TV:D

    I've only noticed videos auto playing recently.

    If you stop video, every time you reload page or got to another listing with videos they auto play.

    I might not mind if I chose to play.

    Not a fan of the new layout.

    The price slider if fiddly and to me the old method worked better. You want a low or high price type in the box. Why use a slider thats more difficult to use?

    I have adblock and noscript. So no adverts for me so far. As soon as they start that i wont use ebay any more.

    A static advert at the side of the page is one thing, But video adverts no thanks.

    I'm getting videos automatically playing in this person's listings with Google Chrome.

    Clicked in firefox and nothing. But adblock and noscript running.

    Chrome there is an advert on the right for British Airways (AdChoice)

    Is that the one?

    I'm using Chrome.

    Yes, video adverts on right under seller information, automatically running.

    The adverts vary, I saw Toyota, Harpic bleach, Audience Tv, Sun Life Insurance.
