Reply to "right clicking window? ebayer suggest get rid of?"

I absolutely hate, with a passion, seeing right-click protected listings.

It is rude and arrogant in my opinion.

I am one of the many people who use right-click to navigate, mostly to 'open link in new window'. This is so I can keep a listing open, for example, but also open a seller's feedback profile, or view his other items.

Disabling right-click does NOT stop people copying your pics (they can just save the whole web page, or 'view source' and get your pic URLS from there) but it DOES interrupt people's normal browsing habits and it displays a kind of aggression, like you are perfectly happy to inconvenience your customers for no good reason.

It is very annoying to some of your visitors and it doesn't solve your problem, so don't do it.
