eBay to Redesign Item Page after 9 Months of Testing

by: MilesT

Definitely seeing the new layout on eBay.co.uk--I had a item link saved in my shortcuts for an item that I was planning to email to a friend for advice--and have both the old layout and new layout side by side on two different computers

Instead of fixing the real problems the jerks at fleecebay continue to create new ones. Hopefully these changes will increase the speed of the sinking ship to the bottom. Can't think of a more slimey, nasty, lying company for it to happen to.

"Instead of fixing the real problems"

And what problems do you think need fixing or should I ask what's the problem?

I myself have no problems with eBay at the current moment.

Hey, lets fix the wall.
Wait, whats wrong with the wall?
Well, it became crooked and cracked over the years from everyone and their ideas trying to fix it.
Was it damaged?
No, it wasn't damaged, we had to justify our existence, so, we (tried) to make it better
Yeah, but wait a second, The roof leaks, the foundation is crumbling, all, mind you, from the same people who tried to fix the wall. So, why are we trying ONCE AGAIN to fix the wall when there is structural damage!

I'm so glad I moved from there years ago..

eBay is a sinking ship that is slowly but surely falling to the bottom.

I clicked on the new thread link and got this lovely message:

More like Phase 5,858.  How many times eBay?

Wanna know why?  Constantly moving the furniture to accommodate advertising while the move your item descriptions to the outer solar system.

Those who work in this department are like the Keystone Cops.

Like Nabi above, it appears that I don't have sufficient privileges for the resource either. I do wish they'd concentrate on fixing all the glitches they've already caused, rather than creating more.

@Toolguy And what problems do you think need fixing or should I ask what's the problem?

One thing that eBay does very well is banning stick poking trolls from their discussion boards.  If they did everything that well it would be a great place to sell.

From what I saw of a "new and (not) improved" version was even more photos of other seller's items appearing. More than 100 if you hit the arrows to take a look. And now those photos under the description are of different sizes. The larger ones take up more space and are more prominent and in several rows two smaller photos were fitted between two larger photos.

How much do you want to bet that next on eBay's greed grab is your opportunity to pay more using promoted listings to have larger photos of your stuff plastered on other sellers listings?

by: toastedmutt

Clarification: 2 smaller photos were fitted vertically between two larger photos.

If I could use 1 word to describe myself it would be: Provocateur

ROTFLMAO

in other words, go back to the layout they had for 25 years (succcesfully)

most listings i am seeing now, have oodles of 'other choices' (relevant or not)
BEFORE i can even get to the description of the item, i searched for.

what could be WORSE than that?

I used to sell very briskly at holiday season - this year the only items that moved were those with an ad promotion.  Percentage of shipping + fvf + promo$ - recommendations of as much as 17%!

And I still can't shop the site - the settings send me stuff I don't want, and I have to wade thru the promoteds.

I had 3 cancellations in the past month that resulted from someone thinking they were buying an item that popped up and not the one I'm selling -

It feels to me that the fun and profit are being nibbled away. Eventually I will either be out of stock or out of patience and eBay will be over in my life.

I have a better word but it is too profane to write here.  I commend eBay for not putting up with attention seeking trolls.

Don't hold anything back, I don't offend very easily at my age.

I think the word you were looking for is: Dipshit

Dang I'm the wittiest guy I know. lol

tool says..."I myself have no problems with eBay at the current moment."
Why the need to qualify?
...and don't you keep a log of your past posted grievances? We've all seen 'em.
