When did ebay mess up the search feature?

[Lysander]

Aye- typical 'lets arse about with things that worked just fine and everyone was used to' type stuff..........can't se any improvement and benefit of the new layout. End result for me will be looking at less stuff 'cause I can't be arsed to work out the 'new improved' search, thus buying less stuff....hope their profits take a small dive- that'll learn 'em quick.

Numpties.

And yes, aboot time they had some competition..........

hahaha, just realised that for once I prefer the retro older version over the modern updated version

 

[gump]

yep, its shit

Dont know what they were thinking of. I can see no benefit at all.

G-bay? didn't know. But funnily I was only thinking the other day that there must be market for an alternative. Ebay was great, but think has become greedy - victim of own success. Whereas you could easily just put whatever on for a couple of quid, by the time you now pay listing, picture, selling, paypal etc it makes me think twice or just sack it off and keep bits. Really don't like giving so much away to an automated process that really has no backup and shit service.

Considering they were making a packet before it was as popular and fees rocketed.....

:evil: :evil: :evil:

Yeah, I dont like the new changes on ebay, and also noticed it's slower than the older version.

http://www2.ebay.com/aw/marketing-uk.shtml does nobody read the ebay news except me? opt out only lasts 4 weeks then you are stuck with the new version...

Thanks for pointing the 'opt out' bit out - if you do a search it's automatically at the very bottom of the page, or you could try clicking here:

http://shop.ebay.co.uk/items/_W0QQ_nkwZmerckxQQ_fromZR7QQ_mdoZQQ_sofindtypeZ0#

The only benefit I could see was that it'll allow you 200 items per page, and to select both 'used' and 'not specified' in condition to avoid seeing all the crappy new bits.

If you want to restrict your search to ebay cycling worldwide don't forget you can use the search function on auction watch > http://www.retrobike.co.uk/auction/

And also support your favourite website

That's retrobike, not ebay

The new search is truly dreadful.

Knowing eBay they will keep it, regardless of all the user comments.
