The new ebay????

Anonymous — Sun, 14 Oct 2012 10:05:41 GMT

The changes make it look like its one big universal

happy family, that everybody want to wade through

a mountain of worldwide rubbish.

Not only that you never know what site your on;

i.e.. UK US or AU.

At any given time I'm on all "3" and now they all look

the same, its confusing and time wasting.

We are forever going through more exciting changes

that are anything but..........

I'm a buyer remember me; the one that spend$$$$$$

I currently have both the Au and UK sites open on different tabs and it is not rocket science telling which is which, the url is different and the Au site says g'day and the UK one welcome!

Actually although I knew that they were 're-branding' I had not even noticed the new, generic logo on the Au site until you pointed it out!

It is hard to miss here in the UK as they advertise heavily on TV, in the newspapers and on hoardings.

You start off with a reasonable gripe (I was sort of thinking the same thing), but then you go and ruin everyones day. Really!!!

Rocket science is very simple. Newton's Laws.

If you want something complicated, try to work out the algorithm for 'best' match.

BM belongs in the realm of the mystical - there is no science. (To that end, take three crystal pendulums, cleanse them overnight in the moonlight and dawn rain, then place them beneath three of your currently listed stock items - best selling, favourite, and worst selling, then watch your rankings soar!

Please send $49.95 to Psychics in Oz (care of DG), to find out which crystals will actually work and which ones will curse your items to the bottom of the pile.

If you want to support Aussie sellers then you have to take some of your own initiative and not just rely on Best Match or even when clicking Australia Only. Just have a keen eye and see if you can determine that they are indeed an Aussie seller. Then they may get your $. It doesn't really matter if the layout of the site is similar to one from overseas if you follow some simple steps. eBay's actually introducing a new postcode feature to help identify the country of sellers on any given eBay site.
