Daniel, I think the changes are some of the worse things that they could have done. I really hate what they have done to the webpage. I also don't like the way that everybody's ID is now hidden, it makes it impossible to notify a buyer that they are being sold a Victor fake instead of the real thing. Perhaps Ebay did not want us to notify people that they were being taken. Lets face it that would cut into their profit from the sale.
You are of course correct when you said that the page is slower. I feel like I am running a 386sx at times.

At first I thought, OK, I'll just take a few minutes and figure it out and get it configured to where I like it. An hour later I had most things I didn't want to see (75% of the page) turned off. But, now it's so slow I'm not sure it's worth using. And I haven't been able to find a couple of things I used like categories in the new interface. Anyone else having issues with the new ebay page formats?

Over the years I've been so disgusted with the frequent crapouts, lockups, and general misbehavior by Macrosh*t Windblows and their Internet Exasperator that I have become accustomed to blaming most of my computer problems on the Bill Gates empire. But I had become more suspicious lately that the S L O O O W response in navigating the new eBay pages just might be an eBay problem. Specifically, coming back from a "saved" search to the "saved searches" page takes 15 seconds EVERY TIME. So much for page caching in your "temporary internet files" harddisc area. EBay has apparently defeated that. What's the use of having a "high speed" internet connection when this stupid thing wastes your time waiting on it EVERY TIME you come back to it? I suspect that eBay is doing a lot of "data mining" from these new pages and their interloper software isn't up to the task of doing all that massive amount of snooping and is slowing the whole process down. I'm getting more and more junk email from places that seem to know what kinds of things I search for on eBay. Hmmmm. Nah, I'm sure it's just a coincidence. And the moon is made of green cheese. :oP Greg Bogantz ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel Melvin" <[email protected]> To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, January 22, 2009 3:39 PM Subject: [Phono-L] New Ebay My Ebay format > Anyone else hate the newly enforced ebay My Ebay page format as much as I > do?
