ScarsdaleCoin · July 2, 2008 12:11PM

looks the same to me?

FishyOne · July 2, 2008 12:11PM

Looks the same to me. Did you get the "new" search experience thrown at you?

Cameonut · July 2, 2008 12:12PM

It automatically started a Beta display for me today. I simply opted out.

Yeah, did it to me while I was watching my auctions end. Totally threw me. I knew they had an "opt out" link towards the top.

TwoSides2aCoin · July 2, 2008 2:06PM

It's the master beta version.

Robb · July 2, 2008 2:07PM

/sigh

Old people and change.

YN's can handle the adult version of eBay's MASTER plan.

FullStrike · July 2, 2008 2:20PM

I recall there used to be a few Master Baiters here. They used to call everyone names, try to insult, get a feud going, get someone kicked off.

Seems to have backefired though - they all got themselves bammed , instead.

master beta indeed

TwoSides2aCoin · July 2, 2008 2:53PM

Well, the system still works, regardless of which version it is. It is a matter of adapting to change and "mastering" the beta version.

It's all so simple. Change is good.

I'm not having a problem with it; it's actually easier to find things for me!

That's not me, that's my Mom's page!!!!!

Connecticoin · July 2, 2008 3:11PM

I opted out. I hate it -- you cant see as many line items on one page.

thebeav · July 2, 2008 10:49PM

eBay is the master of fixing un-broken things.....

I set a speed record hitting the opt out button when I got stuck in that crap. I'm one of the lucky ones. Half of involuntary beta testers have no opt out link.

Wow, I guess I was one of the lucky opt-outer's, Russ!

Thanks for the report.

You know we will just have to get used to it!!!!!

***My eBay Beta – New Test Starting Soon***

June 24, 2008 | 03:06PM PST/PT

Hi everyone. It's Renee VonBergen from the My eBay team. Since we launched the beta version of My eBay last summer, we've gathered a lot of feedback which has been incorporated into the beta version. Based on what you've told us, here are a couple of the newest features we've included in this latest beta version of My eBay:

Columns so you can quickly scan for information, as well as the traditional sections available in the current version of My eBay--Watching, Bidding, Active Selling, and so on.

The ability to organize your items the way YOU want to--put items into lists that you create, such as "Items to Research," "My Wish List," or "Possible Gifts for Joe's Birthday." (More details are available on this thread on the My eBay discussion board.)
A new test
We're ready for a new round of testing, as we prepare for the expansion of the new My eBay to the whole Community sometime later this year. In the next few days, a group of members who have not yet used the beta will be randomly selected to be in the test. The easiest way to tell if you've been opted into our test is that My eBay will appear primarily yellow, while the "classic" My eBay is primarily blue.

Two different test groups will have slightly different experiences: one group will be able to opt out of the test, and one group will not. Why no opt out? Because it's important that we be able to measure the effectiveness of our changes through the total clicks and activity our test group makes. No single member is singled out, but together your numbers will be compared with the aggregate numbers in the control group.

You can learn more about the test by checking out my new thread on the My eBay discussion forum.

Send us Feedback!
Anyone who is placed in the test this week, or who is already using the beta version, can send us feedback at any time through the Send Comments link near the top of any My eBay beta page. You should also check out the beta thread on the My eBay discussion board and leave your feedback--my team and I monitor the thread and will pop in from time to time to answer questions.

I want to emphasize how much we appreciate the time you take to send us comments. Your opinion on what works--and what doesn't--helps us build a better tool. On behalf of the My eBay team, thank you!

Sincerely,

Renee VonBergen
Product Management

How do you opt out? I HATE this new format!!!!

adamlaneus · July 3, 2008 12:46PM

One thing about the new beta search that I like...

I can focus on certified coins. For many searches, I this cuts down the items I have to skim over substantially.

I don't see any way to filter out everything but certified coins in the old search user interface. Perhaps it is there, but just buried somewhere and I have not found it?

LindeDad · July 3, 2008 1:22PM

<< don't see any way to filter out everything but certified coins in the old search user interface. Perhaps it is there, but just buried somewhere and I have not found it? >>

Just put PCGS or NGC or what you want in the search box, it excludes the other trash.

"I'm one of the lucky ones. Half of involuntary beta testers have no opt out link."

Cameonut · July 3, 2008 8:27PM

<< How do you opt out? I HATE this new format!!!! >>

There was a small opt out link toward the upper left of the page. Like Russ, I couldn't get to the opt out link fast enough so I don't remember much more than that.

I hope the link is there for you.

I'm not conceding my speed record yet, I was out of that crap in under 5 seconds from the moment my screen changed.

How do you opt out of this dumb thing?

TwoSides2aCoin · July 4, 2008 7:38AM

<< How do you opt out of this dumb thing? >>

It's quite simple

Goldbully · July 4, 2008 8:07AM

Try the eBay Beta forum here.
