Can't bid on eBay auctions W/O turning off AdGuard

If I try to bid on any auction listing on eBay I get a small popup bid-confirmation window with spinny thing which lasts forever. I have to turn off AdGuard. This seems to be a new issue, like maybe a month old (don't do a lot of bidding there). Anyone else have this issue? Hope this issue is not unique to my 5-year-old Win-10 HP desktop PC and Spectrum WiFi, both of which have their own issues. My AdGuard install has been manually updated, but issue still lingers at times (not always there, as before). Thanks in advance for any insight posted.

Uh, I guess so. I've now implemented the solution sent directly via email. Unfortunately, all of the ads I had previously blocked now appear. Regardless, thank you.

In general (regardless of this issue) eBay is full of "ad-like images" (i.e., numerous wide pseudo-windows of items similar to the item in the listing which they want you to scroll through). AdGuard doesn't do much about them (as best I can tell). If I block those manually, they reappear with a refresh, so manual ad blocking is ineffective.

BTW, love AdGuard. "Jus' sayin'... not brown nosin'."

Please try to disable Filter unblocking search ads and self-promotion for those ad pictures.

I'm an idiot because I have no idea where those settings are, or what they mean. Could you please come up with more triple-negative and even more obtusely-redundant setting names? Did I really read "filter unblocking search ads?" That's a setting? "Self-promotion?" WTFO? I'm no expert, but that looks like three verbs in a row on the first setting name mentioned. Seriously? Are you really trying to totally confuse users? If you are, you're nailing it! Now I remember why I dropped out of IT almost 50 years ago! Heck, I struggled with Do Loops while coding simple games in APL in 1972, and you expect idiots like me to understand this shtuff? Ya gotta give us Gen Geezer types a break! I would've put a poster of a Selectric on my bedroom wall as a kid if IBM had printed them up. OK, maybe I exaggerate... a bit.
