are sellers not paying to sell in this so called ‘venue’, whilst ebay then take even more money from ‘big league’ advertisers that aim to drive the buyers off the site to buy elsewhere.

slapping huge posters across the sellers wee shop windows!

are ebay not playing with semantics and related nonsense to camouflage their bad practices!

I simply just don't like the adverts having to load before the drop downs function correctly.

Probably the reason you don't see them on SMP is because that's a service you pay for, unlike My eBay which is free. I'm fast coming to the conclusion ebay is losing the plot in a big way. Stay tuned for tomorrows daft idea. LOL :-D You have to wonder what the next daft idea ebay are going to come up with. it seems to almost be a new hair-brained idea every day currently.
