Can anyone else get to Ebay Australia? When I goto www.ebay.com.au I'm seeing a parked domain with ads. Did someone backorder their domain?
Really? I'm just trying to get to their editor kit and see a parked domain if I click their logo to go to the home page. This is what I'm seeing. Screen Capture Link http://www.u-exchange.com/bank/Image/Ebay Australia 2.JPG WTF.
That's weird. Are you sure you don't have spyware/malware on your PC? Also might be worth checking it using Firefox or Safari.
Download Opera, and see if the problem still persists. If it doesn't than the problem is with IE, and you probably have some sort of evil thing on your PC.
Notice how on your screenshot all the ebay related content on the parked domain screen looks blurry as hell. Learn Photoshop, brother.
Notice if you mouse over the image in the bottom right corner you can click and the image will go to the original size? Learn what that feature does in IE brother.
Well done, genius. That's exactly what I did. The green bar which says "Welcome to ebay.com.eu" - the writing has evidently been edited using Paint and saved as a crap quality gif. The background of that writing is also blurred so it is evident you edited the image. Not quite sure what your point was - this kind of thing is usually used as linkbait to get more visitors to your site to click ads. I'm not seeing you posting links to your own sites - so what exactly did you gain from this? Except from maybe one extra backlink to your signature links - woohoo!
My point is that it's not a photo shop image and I was wondering if anyone else was having the same problem. Yeah, I waited 2 years to post a Ebay AU thread to get some sig backlinks. [/sarcasm] The link yesterday from the WSJ wasn't good enough. Please stay off the internet and do everyone a favour Rockford. To everyone else thanks. I did check in Firefox and it's doing the same thing. Will run search and destroy to see if that solves the problem.
Check: c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts. And...who's Rockford? Maybe it wasn't a photoshop image - photoshop images produce crisp clear images, Paint doesn't
