Is the link a direct one, or a shortened or tracked version?

What happens if you copy the shortcut and paste it into a new PM tab?

I'm familiar with eBay's USPS tracking number links and they are neither. It's done with a very ugly Javascript blob (see below), and it does work in 11.0.1 without a hitch, so my best guess is that something is blocking the javascript needed on that page.

Example from a live auction:

Code: Select all

<a id="xxxxxxxxx" onclick="com.ebay.app.myebay2.pres.component.iteminfo.ItemInfo.trackUrlLink("iframeDiv", "<div style=\"background-image:url(http://pics.ebaystatic.com/aw/pics/globalAssets/imgLoading_30x30.gif);background-position:50% 40%;background-repeat:no-repeat;text-align:center;height:100%;\"><div style=\"color:#999999;font-size:13px;font-family:arial;padding-top:30%;\">We are retrieving information. Please wait.<\/div><\/div>", "xxxxxxxx", "OP_OPNshipTrack", "http://shiptrack.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewShipmentTrackingDetails&buildDataModel=1&islpp=0&showOverlay=-1&cnt=1&isSeller=0&sellerid=xxxxxxxx&item1=xxxxxxxx&transid1=0")" href="javascript:;" style="font-size:x-small;font-family:verdana">RRxxxxxxxxSE</a>
So, if it doesn't work, check if you're not blocking scripts on eBay.
