New eBay Search Layout - It's RUBBISH

Jun 24, 2008 12:28AM PDT

Hi,


You may have noticed that eBays search page layout has changed recently, and that the opt-out function to keep the old layout is being removed in four weeks time.

If you've not seen it yet you can check it out at http://playground.ebay.co.uk/. It's based around lots and lots of very annoying pop up java windows. It looks and feels like an interface that's in Alpha testing, let alone a finished product.

This topic has caused a massive stink in the eBay community over the past couple of days, and if you use eBay a lot and this really annoys you, and you would like to keep the old layout, or at least keep the option to opt out of the new layout then maybe you'd like to sign this petition.

Hope you don't mind me posting this here, but we need to get as many signitures as possible.

I'm not calling a vote on abandoning the new search. Simply on allowing the opt-out to continue.

Feel free to start another petition supporting the removal of choice from a tried and trusted system that millions use daily

Having to maintain 2 systems is bad for shareholders. When faced with rising costs we should shed staff and reduce platform choices.

Then again would you pay more for this?
