There is one of these capture things when signing up for Gmail. I can hear it when it works, but I do not know why it remains mute when I click on it. Any ideas from anyone please? Thanks.

Yes, I agree with you Christine. I had to have three or four goes at making out what the Skype one said, as it was almost indecipherable with normal hearing. They use different strange voices for each word they speak and put lots of backward running noise and speech in the background. Of course, it's all to ensure that software can't decipher this and get access to these sites. Still, for those who can hear OK, the "Listen" button, when it works, is much better than nothing.

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.
