Changes to the eBay header across the Australian site

luna-2304 — Thu, 29 Jan 2015 03:02:11 GMT

Over the next few days you will see changes to the eBay header across the Australian site.

The changes to look out for are:

The Sell and Help & Contact links will move to the left hand side of the header.

The Community link will move to the footer.

There won't be any drop-down menus associated with the above links. You can still find the pages that used to appear in the drop-down options through the Help & Contact page

A new Notifications section can be found on the right hand side of the header.

Regards

The eBay team.

Another "improvement" from ebay to help with seller satisfaction. I,m getting too old for all of this. !!!

The really stupid part is - why advise us here.

If you didn't know to look for Community at the bottom of the page (as I didn't), then how are members going to find their way here - except to do what I did, contact CS).

Why hasn't there been a PROPER announcement to advise everyone this has been done.

I'd prefer the techs to concentrate on fixing known site problems rather than play with the site appearance when it didn't need to be touched. And most likely now they've played around, they've probably broken something else.

Yep, members are going to find it super easy to find the forums now......what a load of carp! I would much prefer they did something contructive, like fix the 'new look' watch list page, which still gives that stupid error more often than not. On the rare occasion it does work, you delete an item, refresh the page, only to find the deleted items back again. Thank goodness we can still access the old version (for now).

I guess this is eBay's way of making the site even harder to use for new people. Seriously eBay, what were you thinking?

I'm sick of not being able to customise my search view.

Everything disappears, then I can't customise. To get any

information, I have to click on the listing, every time

(or is that just me?)

I didn't see it in the footer. I couldn't find the discussion board anywhere so I did what I always do and typed "ebay discussion selling" into Google. Thanks Google.

another pointless change from ebay. Changes are suppose to be more user friendly and easier, not harder

Only replying here as your'e the last poster.

I'm going to ask a really dumb Rhonda question.

Has that 'bell' always been up there (if it has I've never noticed it) or is it something new - a reminder to post items.

Re: Changes to the eBay header across the Australian site

imastawka — Thu, 29 Jan 2015 06:31:20 GMT

I already asked that 'dumb' question.

It's new and lets you know when an auction or item is ending

in your watch list. An orange thingie pops up next to it.

The "bell" has been on phone for yonks.

I take lots of screengrabs and went back through my screengrab folder and found this one** I took on 15th Jan 2015

**For anyone who is wondering why I took this screengrab it was to show the ACORN banner across the top of my screen at that time on that day. Glad to have it now to show that the bell was not there on my page two weeks ago.

Well then, 'yonks' isn't as long as I thought it was

Re: Changes to the eBay header across the Australian site

The bell has been on the mobile app for yonks, haven't seen it before on the desktop site.

I'm no good at screen shots, but on my other id I've been experimenting with, it said 'You have been paid' Ship the item (or words to that effect)

It would appear Ebay do not want any discussion boards to be easily found. This new change is utter C**p. Another USELESS Change

Re: Changes to the eBay header across the Australian site

i-love-my-sheep — Thu, 29 Jan 2015 08:02:36 GMT

I think the bell has been on the US site for ages, so they are probably just getting in line with them. I know whenever I go to the .com site I get all these items down the right side saying I am the highest bidder or I have been outbid.

'Woohoo! Now the members can't talk to each other 'cos they don't know where we've hidden the Discussion Board. Gosh this is such a great day being a techie at eBay. Oh! Is there a problem with the Watch List, the Search criteria. Sorry, that will be a 2016 fix job, having too much fun at the moment confusing the proverbial out of the members'.
