I have the same problem. It was OK this morning at 6:30 am CDT, but I can't get to it now - AND I HAVE THE HIGH BID!
One of my computers can access without problems, but the other one can't...

hi tallt - i have the same thing (one that says fradulant and one that does not) - i ran LiveUpdate on both and now the one that didn't report as fradulant is coming up positive.
i submitted the page to this site:
https://submit.symantec.com/antifraud/false_positive.cgi
Tony indicated in another unrelated thread that updates for anti-phishing can occur several times a day, so i'd recommend to continue running LiveUpdate every hour or so until it the site is clear.

I don't do eBay but I went to the links given in messages here without any warnings even if I clicked on links within the initial pages.
I'm using NIS2008 and updated it manually about an hour ago when two critical intrusion engine updates came down -- FWIW

Yes I was logged in and when trying to view any of the listed items in Ebay motors I got the same message. "Fraudulant Webs Page Blocked" Regular Ebay has no problem just in Ebay motors.
Here is one of the links that I was trying to open/view .
I have Norton Internet Security Version 10.1.0.26
OS is Vista Premium

I'm not clear on the solution. I ran LiveUpdate just now and still get the same false posivite for a fraudulent page (only on eBay Motors).
Could you provide the specific URL that is causing this false positive? Thanks!

That fits in with my experience on all the links in messages here ....

New twist, when visiting the site from the link within this forum, no fraud alert. But when visiting the site from within eBay motors the fraud alert is still there.

The false postive is not from the URL directly but from the Iframe of the URL where the description is hosted. On some Motors listings on the eBay site they have a new format and have an iframe. The actual description is hosted on a different URL.
http://www.auctionbytes.com/cab/abn/y08/m04/i15/s03
eBay is apparently testing another initiative on eBay Motors to limit fraud on the site. Some listings are loading descriptions in a frame that are being served from vi.ebaydesc.com rather than cgi.ebay.com. By moving the listing description to its own domain, eBay can supposedly limit hackers' ability to use HTML and javascript to overlay other images or text on top of real eBay pages. Reportedly, if the initiative is successful, it could roll out to all eBay Motors listings by June.
Its the URL beginning with vi.ebaydesc.com that is the false positive I believe
Hope that helps

That explains why I am having issues. I use a competitors Internet security software on my laptop and didn't have any problems with it. Wonder why it didn't pick up on the false positive and Norton did? FYI I am now able to veiw listings in Ebay motors with NIS. Not sure if ebay fixed it or if the good people here did.
I really appreciate all the help from this forum . I wish I knew more about URL's and false positives, iframes etc. Perhaps if I did I would have to ask stupid questions and would be able to fix my own problems, or at least understand why I am having them.......
Thanks Again!

the problem is resolved for me now - anyone else still having problems, run liveupdate and restart your browser.

I ran LiveUpdate and am still getting a Fraudulent Web Page Blocked message. Also, on the ebay motors auctions that I can get into I only get the top part of the auction page with no image of the item and cannot see any of the details of the auction. What should I do now????????????
Fraudulent Web Page Blocked
You attempted to access:
http: //promo.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewCategoryLis t&storeid=2856126&downgradeDomain=true

This web page is a known fraudulent web page. It is recommended that you do NOT visit this page.
FWIW that URL does not post here as a valid link as usually is the case and when I pasted it into my address box in IE7 it contained a lot of invalid characters and IE7 failed to get anywhere. And yet when I paste it in here it appears OK:
http: //promo.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewCategoryLis t&storeid=2856126&downgradeDomain=true
although there is a space after the s in List
Removing the corruption manually in the address box did take my to eBay but it was very slow loading the first image and I gave up.
