There's a simple way around all these Captcha's.
Use Firefox and sign up with Webvisum.
www.webvisum.com

When you come across a Captcha all you have to do is send the Captcha to Webvisum with a single keystroke and within around 20 seconds you get the words needed added to your Clipboard. All you have to do then is to paste the words into the edit box and you're on your way.

If you're happy using Internet Explorer then just use Firefox to get you past these Captcha's.

Tom.

Those
Stupid things are no use to folks like myself who have big hearing problems--we use our braille not our ears, so they are no use whatsoever and having someone ring us up is no use either, so what do we do but give up using something Else, we could have used had they not used those stupid capture things!

Hello All,

In the last week or so I've been unable to use Ebay
"Questions" and "Messaging", due to them now adopting one of
those troublesome capcha image requirements. They have put
on these pages a button to activate so that you can "Listen"
to the text in the image but this does not work--or, at
least, it doesn't work for me. I must assume that my set-up
for hearing these captcha messages is correct, as I was only
on Skype yesterday and used one of them there and heard the
contents of the capcha image with no problem.

Would anyone familiar with Ebay messaging and question
asking features please have a go at this for me to let me
know if they also find the "Listen" button does not work.
All I get is a strange beeping  sound out of it.

I have reported this to a Supervisor at Ebay. She said she
would get onto the technical people and ring me back with
information within 24 to 48 hours but I have heard nothing
72 hours later. I fear that they will do nothing about this
if sufficient people do not contact them about it and put
pressure on for action sooner rather than later. However, I
do not want to pursue this further if I am the only one
encountering the problem on Ebay.

The problem is, of course, that it is often necessary to
send a question to a seller of a given item for
clarification of what exactly it is you are buying and for
other details. So many sellers provide only a very
inadequate description of items and rely on pictures to
convey information.

Thanks and hear from you soon.

John.
