Code: Select all

/pics\.ebaystatic\.com\/.*\d{2,3}x\d{2,3}(_[a-z]+)?\.gif/
will match all the .gifs on pics.ebaystatic.com that end in two or three digits followed by "x" followed by two or three digits, and possibly followed by an underscore and a series of alpha characters:

##x##.gif
###x##.gif
##x###.gif
###x###.gif
##x##_aazz.gif
###x##_aazz.gif
##x###_aazz.gif
###x###_aazz.gif

Might be too greedy, but you didn't list anything you wanted to exclude :P.

Oh, untested of course - I may have made a mistake that I didn't verify.

I'm not sure where those ads are on ebay.com.au . I am having a hard time finding ANY ads with EasyList/EasyElement filters there. Is there a certain page you could point us to? Do you have to be logged in to see them?

Thanks for your replies, I'm pretty sure you have to be logged in to see the banners. I'm no expert but after thinking about it some more I doubt it is possible to make a filter to block them. There are too many other pics on the same server with similar properties that should not be blocked. I guess I will just keep blocking the ones that "offend me" on a individual basis.
