Comments on: First impressions of the new My eBay beta http://tamebay.com/2008/08/first-impressions-of-the-new-my-ebay-beta.html eBay & ecommerce made easy Thu, 24 May 2012 23:52:10 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Allotment http://tamebay.com/2008/08/first-impressions-of-the-new-my-ebay-beta.html#comment-11168 Allotment Sun, 17 Aug 2008 14:58:48 +0000 http://www.tamebay.com/?p=3534#comment-11168 I opted in, tried a few days processing using it, and have now opted out. Form over function. Looks nice but doesn't deliver. Customisation options are a good thing but a lot of space seems wasted and there are an irritating number of essentials which seem either to be missing or require additional manual effort. For low volume it's probably ok but otherwise it's hell to use. We seem to have lost the option to sort much of the data. For me a list of sold items in seller id order is essential (someone pls tell me i've missed it). The Font is far too small on some of the data. Buyer id in particular. It's ok when the buyer has made multiple purchases but on the single item purchases I can barely see it. Number of item displayed per 'screen' is consideraby reduced. There seems to be at least one extra click for each frequently used function. I opted in, tried a few days processing using it, and have now opted out.

Why don't they just leave things alone? I have the same feeling I get in the supermarket when they alter the shelves round! I am a creature of habit.......
