IS LAME!!!!!!!

Looks like eBay for a 4 year old. Very annoying.

Agreed. It's even overriding the html in my auctions.

Now this is what I call weird. My computer is on a different default font than the wacky font eBay now uses. However, when I go to www.eBay.com and see the new ugly font and then use the same browser to go to any other website I am stuck in that eBay font! Infact I'm looking at this forum right now in the eBay font. I have to shut down my browser and open a new one to see the default font. VERY ANNOYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's all in Arial to me.

Is this on every ebay page? I don't see anything different.

Another side effect is that when you encounter auctions that use ebay's lame-o picture hosting with the thumbnails and the main picture, and you click on another picture to change the display in the main picture window, the page just refreshes the first click, then you can click and change them at will. Very annoying!

***Coming Soon: View Item Optimization***
Date: 07/12/04 Time: 11:02:54 AM PDT

This week, we will be changing the way the item description area of the view item page displays. This change will improve the view item page performance for members. Because the item description content will be now be cached by browsers, buyers and sellers will see noticeable speed improvements when they view the same item more than once, or when they refresh a view item page. This is especially important during the last few minutes of a listing, or when members are on slow dialup connections.

Please note: As a result of this change, sellers who have used html tags to customize the item page outside the item description area (to change font color for links outside the item description, for instance) will now only be able to customize the area within the item description. Any active listings, or listings that have been created in a listing tool such as Turbo Lister but not yet uploaded, will automatically be adjusted.

Regards,
eBay
