Saved Searches

I've just noticed a change in the layout of saved search email notifications, and I'm not impressed.

I receive about 20 of the notifications daily, on average. Previously the email contained a gallery photo, price, postage cost, number of bids, plus listing end date and time for each item.

Now we just get a photo and the postage cost. What were eBay thinking? Sure, postage cost is important, but if I have half a dozen similar items in a notification, postage isn't the deciding factor in making a purchase.

Now, to make any meaningful comparison, we have to click on every item in the email. It almost defeats the purpose of subscribing to the notifications in the first place.

A lot of changes are happening to layouts and it may just be interim pages until final layouts are loaded.

You're right. They've now added the price of the items to the emails.
