eBay users spot the online auction house port-scanning their PCs. Um... is that OK?

The Javascript that's doing the scan is running locally so your router's ports aren't involved outside those used to deliver the web page.

I'm sure the array of add-ons I have in Firefox would block the attempt, but as they also block the login page, I'm forced to use Chrome for ebay.
