If you have an item on buy it now for £3.99 and 1.99 postage, the payment section says "Immediate payment for £3.99 is required". Surely this should read "Immediate payment for £5.98 is required" or "Immediate payment for £3.99 plus sellers postage rate is required." ?

I would go further and suggest it should say Quantity available: 4 lots in stock. ( a lot being whatever the sale item is 1, 2 or 100 pieces) Well spotted.

Shop categories have been relegated to a non-apparent afterthought and look disjointed, truncated & messy. At least our categories are intact in the main site even if I have to scroll past the lack lustre,anodyne, insipid yet all important 'above the fold' piece of rubbish eBay are introducing... Who is head of eBay....? Nero?

Which means we will still be asking for it to be changed in seven years time. PS That quantities thing is a pathetic error that eBay should fix pronto.

But I have just compared the views and think the new design looks awful. I also note that my Crosspitch Gallery appears to have been automatically deleted by eBay on the new page. They will be banning the use of HTML next. I may be late in noticing this as I have been busy with *life stuff* and also was not seeing the new page view until today…

I don't believe that the ebay tech team can be this incompetetent, so what's the real agenda behind these changes? Third party adverts / sponsored links inserted onto our listings?

But as a more general point, I think there is something to be said for involving sellers in this process: we, after all, spend more time interacting with the site than the development team do, we probably know more about all the nuances of trading than the development team do, and many of the famous policy change fiascoes (e.g. the current 99p farce) could have been avoided if sellers had been involved at an earlier stage.

Previously on one of my listings it would have read "Quantity: 5 lots available (20 items each)", now it just reads "Quantity: 5" I don't think I'm going to get many sales if someone thinks they'll be buying 5 items when I've priced the listing for 20 :-( It’s even more fun for items sold in lots.
