Oh, gee, great. Thanks, eBay.

Just when I get used to some new layout, they have to go and monkey with things again and change everything to where I have to relearn the whole setup and find my way around. I won't deny they have made considerable improvements since I started in '99, but sometimes I wish they would just QUIT MONKEYING AROUND WITH THINGS AND LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE. Grrr.

I log on to look at my auctions, and see the whole "My eBay" page has changed. Geez.

Maybe it's for the better. Who knows. I just wish they would quit tinkering, already.

Esnipe? Hasn't changed a bit in the several years I've used it. Nice n' simple. Basic. Functional.

AHA.

There is an "opt out" link. Excellent. I can put things back to normal.

OK, eBay. I take back some of my grumbles.

DUIGUY

OH YEAH!! Ain't it great!!

You're a numismatist. You shouldn't be so averse to change.

lordmarcovan

Actually, I am a numismatist who is now middle aged and well on his way to becoming a "crusty old coot".

I cheered the Mint when they brought out the new stuff around the millennium, and revitalized our stagnant coinage, but frankly, they got so far ahead of me I can't keep up with the modern business strikes, let alone the modern commems.

For that reason, I'll stick to the classics. Some of the modern stuff is great, but it's too newfangled and fast-moving for old crusty, ornery me.

Boom

I'm with you! I don't like all this change.

I TRIED - for as long as I could stand it ...

but alas - ultimately, I too reached for the "Opt Out" tab!

lordmarcovan

I'm just lucky I was able to FIND the "opt out" tab. Geez!

It's a wonder you can find anything on eBay anymore. Remember when the selling form was like one simple page?

Geez. Now I feel like I did when I bought a house and the lawyer pushed over a stack of papers about a half an inch thick, and told me to sign here, here, here, and here, and initial this, and this, and that.

That bothered me too... why did they call it "opt out" though? What am I opting out of? Why couldn't they just call it "old style" or something. Confused me.

lordmarcovan

I didn't know what they meant by "opt out", either, but I was all ticked off and said, I want to opt out of THIS, whatever it is, and clicked it in a fit of irritation.

Then lo and behold, everything was like it had been yesterday. Hallelujah.

I noticed they had a "send us your comments" tab, too, before I clicked "opt out", but since I clicked "opt out", it vanished, and I ain't about to opt back in, to give 'em the earful I was gonna give 'em!

Boom

More like copped out!

dont worry you've got more to gripe about... even after you "opt out" out of nowhere for no reason the beta search page will pop its ugly head right back up. I find myself "opting out" a good 10-20 times a day.

I agree they should leave it alone.

Give it a chance and stop being sticks in the mud.

Very few things on the internet actually make me mad, becauseI know it's the internet & not real life.
But when my dozen or so saved searches got frigged up I was banging my head against the wall, my eyeballs were bugging out of my head and spittle was flying from my mouth.
Because it took my retarded arse several days to realize there was an opt out button.
eBay as we know it is on it's last leg as they move toward a retail type site like amazon. It's a joke now, actually.
Yep, I miss the goodle days too. Member since 2000.

Sheesh, I didn't even know about the opt out option for a few days, either. I wish they would stop changing the layout so much.
