[meteorite-list] EBay Issues?
Is anybody else having problems with eBay today. I can't seem to get auctions to sort by newly listed. It keeps going back to best match. I also cannot zoom in on anybody's images including mine.

Re: [meteorite-list] EBay Issues?
Thank you for reporting back to me. I think the problem must be with my computer or browser. It is odd that it is only picking on eBay and PayPal stuff. I don't know what is going on. Oh Joy, more work.

Thank you all once again. I figured it out. I cleared my browser cache and the problem went away. Now back to more important things like meteorites.

I use a program called ccleaner and you can get it from download.com...works really well to clean browsers and garbage installing programs on windows leaves behind On 10:20:39 pm 12/14/11 Adam Hupe raremeteori...@yahoo.com wrote: Thank you all once again.

[meteorite-list] eBay Issues
Hi Brian, McKinney, Listoids: eBay, like rock roll, will never die. It's the greatest platform for buying and selling meteorites the world has ever seen. Everything else too. Before eBay, where could the Average Joe go to buy his stones? After eBay buys Craigslist, (it already owns all the European Craigslist sites and is a major owner of Cl) it will become the final vestige of the free enterprise system, (along with Wal-Mart.) eBay has always had bugs, like when it sputters when you're listing and you have to redo the auction. I use eBay heavily daily and I haven't seen the slowdown others are talking about. Maybe it's increased usage for the holiday season overloading and bottlenecking the bandwith? eBay has been sort of screwing the sellers lately, but they'll come around and realize who it is that's giving them all that money! Just my plug nickel's worth!

Re: [meteorite-list] eBay issues of late
Hi Folks! Speaking strictly as a buyer, I dislike eBay's new look and interface. I've been on eBay as a member since 1999 and I have witnessed all of the changes eBay has been through over the years - the good and the bad. I find eBay's new look runs slower than previous incarnations and it annoys me alot. Search results take longer to appear, regardless of how you display or sort them. And it's now more tedious to select and deselect search criteria. I also dislike the masking of bidder's identities. I like to know who I am bidding against, and this is another change that makes eBay more faceless and anonymous. The sense of community that early eBay had is long gone, IMO. FWIW, in almost 10 years on eBay (and about 7 on PayPal), I have never had any virus or scam issues. Sure, I get the typical crude phishing email attempts every so often, but who doesn't? My mother gets PayPal phishing emails and she doesn't even use PayPal. I think this recent new trend of eBay tripping off firewalls is related to increased data gathering on eBay's part, and not part of any overtly malicious agenda. It's intrusive, but it's mostly harmless. Today's advanced antispyware and firewall software is much more sensitive to threats than it used to be, and that adds to the problem. I'm not discounting anyone else's experiences to the contrary. I'm just saying my PC has never been attacked with a virus or malware coming from eBay or PayPal in 10 years of frequent usage. The old saying of if it isn't broke, don't fix it applies here to eBay. IMO, the look and interface of eBay was fine before this last round of changes. I don't see any improvements, and it makes me look at the eBay experience as a chore now, and not a pleasure - like it used to be years ago. I'd much rather deal directly with my fellow list members off eBay, than use the eBay interface anyway. It's more personal, it's friendlier, and it's cheaper for everyone involved.

Re: [meteorite-list] eBay issues of late
ebay will be dead in 5 years. hi fees, no bad feedback, hidden identities, no recourse on bad paypal experiences, no phone support, etc., etc. a consolidated retro-fit of a not-yet formed craigslist-type site will be the new FREE venue. --- On Mon, 12/1/08, Michael Gilmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Michael Gilmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] eBay issues of late To: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Date: Monday, December 1, 2008, 8:21 PM Hi Folks!
