this is most likley using some form of AJAX approach but the code is in the external js include files. I found several references to cust ebay classes whilst browsing that script.

Okay, here's the source code from a listing showing this function. I think the relevant code is that relating to FASTREFRESH ........

Sadly not !

Seems this little function is quite intelligent and only appears towards the end of an auction and possibly only when you are a participant in the bidding ....... I don't seem to be able to find an example on auctions I'm not involved in.

I have seen reference to it on the ebay forums so I'm not going mad here.

Next time I see it, I'll grab the source code and let you guys make sense of it !!!

Can you give us a link and tell us what we have to do to see the effect? That will help narrow down what it is.

I am guessing it is some type of AJAX script, but we won't know for sure until we see it in action.
