They done it again...
« on: June 25, 2008, 11:27:23 PM »
eBay is now rubbish again. Look at the new setup they have got (like the old one). Before they got so many complaints they changed it back but now they messed it up AGAIN. Why!? Why mess something about when it was perfect before? :madashell:

THey appear to be headless. I have not used them in a while myself, but I still find value as I live in the country.

I think they just now switched it back again. I'm getting the old display not that ugly one. :)

At least they're not forcing you into PayPal as the ONLY payment option available on their site?

They tried to here in Australia, but it seems tha Competition Commission has made them put that move on hold while they 'investigate' the situation.

What's to bet some eBay money greases the ACCC wheels, and we end up with the PayPal monopoly.

*sigh*

Amiga FTW!

Yep, there's no competition for eBay here in Aus, sadly.  The point though, is that regardless of whether we have the option to shop elsewhere, eBay forcing PayPal as the only option for payment is like Microsoft stopping AIM and ICQ from being installed in Windows.

Hopefully the ACCC will do the right thing and stop it from happening.

If you've been watching over the past few months they've slowly been reducing the power of their search. Probably to limit server load.

It will try to do it's damn best for you not to search all categories, all over the world.

If you search all categories for example, you cannot sort by price + P&P
