eBay: confirm before placing a bid

Shows a confirmation prompt when you click a bid button to protect against an accidental bid.

Code to copy

// Ask for confirmation before placing or reviewing a bid
function guardBidButton() {
  document.querySelectorAll('a[href*="/bid/"], button[id*="bidBtn"], a#bidBtn_btn')
    .forEach(function (btn) {
      if (btn.getAttribute('data-jz-guard')) { return; }
      btn.setAttribute('data-jz-guard', '1');
      btn.addEventListener('click', function (e) {
        if (!window.confirm('Place this bid on eBay?')) {
          e.preventDefault();
          e.stopPropagation();
        }
      }, true);
    });
}
guardBidButton();
const obs = new MutationObserver(guardBidButton);
obs.observe(document.documentElement, { childList: true, subtree: true });
