New Ebay Format and picture view
Aberlight
Posts: 384 ✭✭
Many people here have discussed this already but I am having a hard time viewing the images due to the small sizes when people host their images with Ebay opposed to referencing external images at larger sizes within the description. I am viewing on a 22" monitor and feel for the people using 17" monitors. In the past I would use the Firefox magnifier and zoom in on pictures, but the new format is in a java script and I cannot right click to zoom in. Can't even copy the images and zoom in using imaging software. Direct links don't work either. Does anyone have an idea of how to take the images and get a better view?
Ebay really screwed up this time. Unless someone links larger external images this is a crap shot on what you will receive. It frustrating and almost not even worth the effort.

This is another change initiated by eBay on its own probably without contacting any customers. If you don't believe that, ask yourself, did eBay actually ask any customers: "As a buyer of coins on eBay, would you like smaller pictures that can't be enlarged?"
If eBay cared, it might be worth complaining to them. However, . . .

I completely agree. While the research department is riding segways and playing Lego vs. Transformer wars the development team just moves coding around and when the sales fall, they blame it on the economy.
Ebay cares...
Now the seller has to pay the extra bucks for bigger pic's. LOL!

Of course, shopping on eBay has now become a royal pain in the azz.

<< <i>And the general suckiness of yet another eBay "improvement" surprises you, why? >>
Very true! It seems that every change they make makes it worse.
They could fix it by going back to the old software from a few years ago and get applause.
<< <i>I don't use eBay's picture hosting (other than the gallery pic) so all my images remain full size in the listing; new item display has no effect.

100% agree with you.
I host 1 picture with ebay so it is easier to show up in the pictures for the listing but inside, I use my own links and pictures; though, I haven't sold anything on ebay in MONTHS.
For buying, I just noticed this crap yesterday and gave up shopping because it was such BS. I don't "need" ebay, though I do like shopping/bidding/winning, but when it becomes too much of a hassle, I just ignore it.
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

I'm hoping more people complain. Just sent my email off about five minutes ago.
I am tired of them changing things just to prove how "fresh" they are
You wouldn't believe how long it took to get him to sit still for this.
