Anyone else get My eBay Beta about 10 minutes ago? It sucks. It's way slower because it's all Java. I guess I will give it a try for a few days.

I opted out of the beta.
I think they've had record numbers for a while. I see them in archives. I assume the just do that as a matter of course. I'm sure if someone (IRS for example) wanted records of transactions, eBay could and would be happy to provide immaculate details as far back as a user is registered. In fact, wasn't there some recent hubub about the IRS requesting power-seller data?

Dear twosides2acoin,
I'm writing to let you know that the eBay User Agreement and eBay Privacy Policy have been updated, effective immediately for new users and on August 13, 2008, for current users.
The most important thing to keep in mind about this update is that your rights, and our responsibilities, under the User Agreement and Privacy Policy have changed very little. This update was spurred by an international project, rolling out now, that will make the user agreements and privacy policies for eBay platforms around the world much more consistent. This way, when you interact with any eBay platform around the world, you can be sure that very similar policies apply to you no matter where you do your transactions.
There is one substantive change to our User Agreement I'd like to point out. We changed the "Content" and "Liability" sections to accommodate a new program we're rolling out worldwide. That program makes catalogs of content and product descriptions available to sellers, so they can easily include complete and up-to-date product information for the items they list.
Similarly, we've revised the Privacy Policy's "Disclosure" section to make sure that the language we've used there accurately reflects the ways in which we're transferring information between companies in the eBay Inc. corporate family to streamline services, fight fraud and provide you with the best, most relevant experience when you use any of the sites or services of the eBay corporate family.
With these changes, we continue to make sure that our legal documents are consistent with the ways our sites and services are evolving and that we meet the needs of our user community. We hope you'll agree that these changes will make the eBay sites and services work better for you. If you accept the new User Agreement and Privacy Policy, you don't need to take any action If you do not wish to accept the new User Agreement or Privacy Policy, please refer to our Help pages for instructions on how to close your account.
Thank you for using eBay and we look forward to many more successful transactions!
Sincerely,
Scott Shipman
Senior Counsel -- Global Privacy Practices
eBay Inc.

If not enough people complain, the changes might become permanent.
I complained that you can't see more than 10 items at a time on your "Watching" page. I want the option to see them all on one page.
