I'm fairly new to all this guys so bear with me.
I'm in the process of sourcing bits for a Fisher Fury kit car.
Just recently though, ebay seems to have really slowed up. I'm on tiscali broadband and go through google, favourites etc. Getting into PistonHeads and other sites that I use is virtually instant, so is navigating around the sites but getting into ebay at the moment is takeing forever and getting from page to page is a nightmare.I do notice 'doubleclic' amongst the string sometimes in the bottom left pane. Is it that I'm just looking at the wrong time and it's busy or is something slowing me up?

I'd wager good money what your seeing is some variation of "ads.doubleclick.com" yes? If so, install adblock on your browser (you are using Opera/Firefox yes?) and it should speed things up.

Doubleclick regularly makes things go bang...

It might be a bit of both, thanks guys.
I don't know opera or firefox, I use Zone Alarm which was recommended to me but I'll look at the other two.
Thanks.
