Comments on: My eBay classic retired, new My eBay rolled out http://tamebay.com/2009/01/my-ebay-classic-retired-new-my-ebay-rolled-out.html eBay & ecommerce made easy Fri, 25 May 2012 10:31:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Former seller/buyer http://tamebay.com/2009/01/my-ebay-classic-retired-new-my-ebay-rolled-out.html#comment-16086 Former seller/buyer Tue, 03 Feb 2009 02:39:15 +0000 http://www.tamebay.com/?p=5806#comment-16086 Let's see, painfully slow in every browser I've tried - you'd think that experienced web developers would realize all that generated javascript s l o w s a page d o w n. Buggy - it is still beta, after all. Horrendous clickability - try it on a mac (and I'm sorry, it makes no difference on my cable ISP what I use, and I have all the latest browsers) Gives you stuff you don't need that you can't get rid of. Items I'm watching is now triple the number of pages it used to be. Clunky, ugly, worst design I've seen in a long time - seriously, who designed this? Yes, this is SO much easier to use than the old one - while I'm waiting for the page to load I'll go somewhere else to do my shopping and selling. eBay's spin doctors really expect people to believe their lying statistics. You want the truth? Visit eBay's forums - no one likes this garbage.

I'm kinda gonna miss it even though I've mainly been using the new My eBay for over six months now. Looks like the next round of countries retiring My eBay Classic will be the first week of February.

You need to find the next new way to buy and sell online.... eBay had a new concept…simply starting another online auction site, no matter how big (google etc) wouldn’t be good enough.

You need to find the next new way to buy and sell online….

Buyers do not buy things from George Brown of Basingstoke, they buy things "on Ebay" There will never be anything to match ebay as a whole

what might happen is there may be better sites to sell specific types of item that are better than ebay

problem they will have is ebays habit of buying them up.

The first grin I've enjoyed all week since the My eBay beta fiasco has been forced on us all--in the U.S. (I'm using the Canada site for My eBay.) But ebay will be done (stick a fork in its ass and turnn it over, it's done) when they force the "New Search Experience" with "Best Match" on the whole site. Nobody will find the items from small sellers; it's all going to be fixed price crap from buy.com. Honestly, I want the auction (with buy it now option) format: please Amazon, Yahoo, google, Bonanzle add that functionality (back) in. I know that amazon and yahoo auctions were trounced by ebay 6-7 years ago but right now: as John said, ANYBODY with the web traffic say of amazon or yahoo could kill ebay in weeks: like Lenin said in during the revolution: power was lying around on the street just waiting for somebody to pick it up.

I checked and I dont use tabbing. Really you think its my browser? oh well Carp is Carp in any browser. why move see my reports to manage my store? or my world to some unknown location, and whats with the meet people page. Heck you cant even email your customers on ebay without typing in the secret code. Oh I did figure out how to set the number of items on the page, you can increase at the bottom left, click 50 or 100 and that is what you will see. Of course when you sign in the next day or later you do have to Reset it all. what fun. Oh but only if you can read 8pt type because if you enlarge the text size it all runs off the page. or hided behind the columns. Ebay knows we all have different computers and browsers. They need to right their programs to work with most everything. There is sooooo much Wrong with ebay that I no longer have time to deal with it. Yes the white space.... really we dont want to look fancy we just want to work. Ebay is in trouble but they are scrambling the wrong direction. Hellooooooooo be nice and listen to your sellers who pay you (with listing, fvf, & paypal fees and pict fees and...) And quit trying to please your stock holders because in the end when the sellers are gone the stock holders will be right behind them. Really its my computer? is that why its tabbed?

It waste my time and has turned what was a fun experience into a pain. I had nearly 1500 postive transactions but have not bought a thing since they forced this change. Sellers-I'm sorry but it's not fun to buy from you on EBAY any more. The management made sure of that. I'm now searching for a new place to shop from. :cry: I have been a buyer on EBAY since 2000 and really hate this new My eBay page.
