ebay toolbar - is it becoming crapware ? ...

Has anyone got the "heads-up" on what happens when I click on my ebay
toolbar, to go to the ebay.co.uk,

When I clicked on it tonight there seemed to be some attempt to redirect me
to
www.rover.ebay.....lotsofgobbledygookhttp://www.ebay.co.uk\Moregobbledygook
..... and I got an IE7 "Page cannot be displayed" ..MVP hosts file :)
....perhaps ?

or, if you like show me ebay "within" another page, sort of thing. I did a
quick Google on it and got the impression that www.rover.ebay.co.uk is an
affiliate of ebay.
It seems that one cannot click on the "ebay" in the ebay toolbar to get
straight to ebay any more, i.e. you have to type it in yourself or add it to
Favourites ?

(bearing in mind that one is encouraged to install it because of the
"security" benefits i.e. it is supposed to alert you if you are directed to
spoofed ebay web-sites).

TIA

regards, Richard
