More Ebay changes ???

Is it just me or does Ebay seems to be changing something virtually all the time? Many of the changes seem to make the system LESS user friendly and intuitive and it takes longer to find the coins I'm interested in. And forget the new beta, it's awful. Recently I got a postcard telling me I could now offer coins on ebay.uk (for an additional fee of course). Stupid me, I've been thinking all along the GB coins I listed were visible to buyers in the UK without them having to go to ebay.US to see them. When I search for specifiic date GB coins in ebay.US I get the US listed coins first then coins listed by international sellers are below. I thought it would be the same for those searching ebay.UK. Ebay also seems to be intent on preventing sellers from listing that they accept checks and money orders in their listings. You would think they make enough on listing fees, final value fees and buyers that prefer paypal that they wouldn't need to push for more. Sometimes the more things change the more they stay the same.

Yup - ebay's on the ledge and I'm not talkin em down.

I wish they'd jump already and create a viable opening for their successor,
whoever they are - hopefully they won't be as arrogant and greedy.

Greed has no bounds.
Maybe we should create some.
Ah, but that is heresy to capitalism!

What's absolutely insane is that they want more money to show U.S. listings on international sites, yet seemingly have NO problems allowing the proliferation of Chinese-listed copies/replicas/fakes/forgeries all throughout the numismatic categories. In some of the U.S. obscure types, there are as many listings for fakes as there are for real coins. It's turned the coin listings into an absolute sh1thole.
