if you use camino to go to ebay, for some reason, none of the pictures seem to
show up. it does this on both the main page, and on the individual item
description pages. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to http://www.ebay.com
2. see that there are no pictures displayed
3. browse around and check out other pages to see that there are no other item
pictures showing on their respective pages


Actual Results:  
you only see text, and i'm pretty sure that if the picture is hosted by a
service other than ebay, they show up, as in this -
http://cgi.ebay.com/Ascent-WOMENS-BIKE-SHORTS-lycra-Large-bicycle-cycling_W0QQitemZ7182034710QQcategoryZ66813QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
vs. this -

Expected Results:  
showed the pictures

sorry about the biker shorts.

you're using an old build, i think. try 1.0a1 and see if it still happens.

This is probably the overzealous ad-blocking we used in 0.9 alphas; do upgrade
to 1.0a1 and verify those images appear properly now.

sorry about that. i updated, and the problem is fixed regarding the individual
item pictures; however, the box on the main page still does not load. i think it
uses java though, so that doesn't really apply to what we're discussing here.

Resolving as WFM per comment 4.

Simon mentioned elsewhere that the main image on www.ebay.com is being served by
a known advertising-only server (or at least otherwise ads-only sever), so
there's nothing we can do about it without letting lots of undesireable ads
through :-(
