eBay issues. Is it just me?

Forget for a moment that eBay seems to change their formatting far too often and seems to reset or adjust personal settings regularly.

Is it just me or is there some serious lagging going on while visiting the site. The page completes loading properly, but it is very slow in responding to scrolling commands. It happens when I go to a primary search (Ending Soonest), but seems fine when I switch to Newly Listed. I don't seem to have issues with any other site except eBay and only on a few search options.

Perhaps there's something I need to reset, adjust, add or delete... Any help would be appreciated.

And a few simple words to eBay . . . the wheel works! Stop trying to improve it!

    The only problem that I'm having is that my purchases no longer list. General purformance is fine.

    Time for you to run a virus checker as it sounds like something else is running that you don't know about.

    I would be concerned about a virus if I were having issues anywhere else or with any other sites that I visit, but it appears to be only within the one search screen and only on the eBay site... Perhaps it is just me.

    I really like it... I never know which of the 3 different formats I'll see everytime I refresh the screen. Each format is completely different so each time I have to re-acclimate to that format. It makes my eBay experience that much more enjoyable! image

    So true... And it seems that eBay, just for spits and giggles, likes to reset your search and viewing settings. I guess their motto is true: "At eBay, we're not happy until you're not happy!"

    I'm still very leery about the updated search engine. After eliminating wildcards, I was forced to rework a lot of my saved searches. As I added search terms to the "ignore" list, sometimes I would end up with more items, rather than less. Not at all sure how that's possible, but that's ebay for you.

    Morning,

    I'm having issues with E-Bay as well Scott, so its not just you. As well as the ones you mention, and the three different random views I get, my favorite right now is the random one where you fill out a Listings Title and Description, and when you click to the next page to finish the listing it reverts back to the previuos listings info that you deleted!! That's real fun, getting to do your listings Twice !!!

    You could always wait a week or two like so many others seem to enjoy doing...

    Theres a little box on the right side just below the sellers info that always lags when i look at an auction, i believe its a spam advertising thing , run adaware after you visit the site see if it picks out the spam,,, j

    I hate how getting to the Completed auctions is now a 3-click process instead of only a single click.

    Depending upon the format that eBay lands you in (why is it this way, anyway?!?!), it is still a single click for completed auctions. In the other two formats, it is not. And one of those two doesn't allow you to access completed auctions if you are in a specific sellers search! UGH!!!

    I always land on the same format version. I'm in Afghanistan but my IP address is sometimes UK and sometimes Australia...think that might have something to do with which versions we get?

    I saw all three formats in Afghanistan too... I had a satellite ISP in Germany.

    You just have to click "advanced".

    Try using an ebay listing tool, such as Turbo Lister.

    There's workarounds for all three formats; you just have to play around to figure out the "new" shortcuts (or patches).

    I'm glad to see we're all suffering through the same pain!
