Re: [MOPO] The EBAY Stores Experience
Hi from Joe B in NOLA-- with 439 positive feedbacks (no others) on Ebay.
As you can see I have moderate ebay experience but since Katrina I have dropped
off drastically in selling and buying on Ebay.
Why??? One of the main reasons is that it is now really difficult to find
things--- particularly since most is buried in the stores.
It's just too much trouble to buy and waaa too much trouble and expensive
to sell.
To hell with 'em!
Joe

The one thing that eBay doesn't seem to understand is the fact that every time
they change the view for the buyer, they wonder now what and go where they
know what they are doing instead of trying to figure out the new view.
For a site that seems to want to be a Amazon Wannabe, they should learn from
Amazon. When you go to Amazon, the page is still basically the same as it has
been for years, best I can remember. Always know how to buy there. Don't
have to learn another new system and how to use it to buy.

Channing, I tried mine and it looked nice to me. I see no negatives. Please specify what you don't like about it. Also, I use the Auctiva format and there really isn't much of a change except for it looking a bit more polished.

Re: [MOPO] The EBAY Stores Experience
My main complaint is the issue of EBAY making changes that are unnecessary and unsolicited by the users. They seem to do this all the time -- sort of like change for change's sake. As to the look, I like it when a lot of the home page is right there in front of you and doesn't requiring a lot of up and down scrolling. I like to see as much info and pictures, categories and announcements as possible, to hit you right when you open the page without having to extend the page down with scrolling.

Re: [MOPO] The EBAY Stores Experience
you folks don't see the #1 reason that fleaBay is making this change: to show more advertising this was the thought behind the search page advance links being moved to below the ads on every page and the only problem with it is that when it began, I thought the first page was the only page until after a few searches and I knew there had to be more pages which made me scroll down further to find the link to the next page why do they want the ads to show so much? AD REVENUE they're grasping at straws and every time they make an improvement for themselves, they make a detriment to us.. Sooner or later the stock will go low enough that Google or Microsoft will offer to buy them out so they can integrate it into their own businesses Rich At 08:07 PM 1/13/2009, channinglylethomson wrote: My main complaint is the issue of EBAY making changes that are unnecessary and unsolicited by the users.
