stopping 'live auctions' on ebay from announcements on an iphone



I get quite a bit of ebay traffic through the ebay app on my iphone, and open the pop ups to see if it's a message or confirmation of an offer or whatever. However I am plagued by 'live auctions' I click on the ebay 'message' and it immediately opens a live ebay auction and I have no interest in them.
I just accidentally clicked and opened one (selling Funko pops) and there was a screaming row going on between 2 people off camera about a crying baby , and nothing actually going 0n- I really don't have time for all that!.
I cannot see how to disable any 'interest' in live auctions- anyone else found a way please?
