I don't know if ebay Canada is the same as ebay here, but I remember a popup that asked if I wanted to install an ebay toolbar, and I clicked "NO". If you can't find a place in your ebay preferences to get rid of the toolbar,have you tried "deleting ALL offline content", and clearing history and deleting cookies from your browser? As far as the "ebay" emails, I bet most of them are "phishing" emails from scam artists, rather than actually from ebay. I was recently the buyer in 2 separate auctions where the sellers INSISTED in sending my payment information to me with that damn ebay email system, even though my ISP tends to reject those emails as "spam". That is the first time that has happened, most sellers would just as soon email direct as put up with that ebay email nonsense. I sure miss the "old days" on ebay, where there was more direct contact between buyer and seller. With the "old iron" categories I deal in, I have found most ebayer's to be honest, and upstanding, yet ebay forces the same stuff on us they force on everyone else!
