Changes to the eBay header across the Australian site

[luna-2304]

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.

The soapbox on the USebay...I couldn't keep up with the place there were so many posters. Now I can catch up in 5 minutes even after not going there for 2 weeks. I said a long time ago...what happens there will happen here. I'm surprised it's taken this long.

Also, not long after coming to ebay I've read over and over how they are pushing out the small sellers.

It looks like I came to ebay in a nick of time. I bought all those hard to find things from small sellers I've been looking for. I had fun bidding and sniping other buyers.

With the large chains selling here ebay can kill off the forums and save money not having to moderate and waste computer space dealing with "us".

I think it's a bad move...but since when have pencil pushers made good decisions for the long haul. Raise the bottom line, claim "look at all the profits I made for them"....get a new job making twice as much somewhere else.

They'll be long gone when this place bottoms out.

I didn't see any Legal Privacy and More link . . . all I saw was a seemingly endless loading of adverts I didn't want to see. I'm not going back to that page any time soon.

That's the way to drive customers away, ebay.

Lol, I don't think that page has a bottom. I've tried to find it, but didn't have the patience to wait.

I forget how I got around that one...I think clicking my ebay, then find it through the links at the bottom.

I've bookmarked all the sites. If bookmarking means to put the links in the row of tabs at the top of my screen?

*sigh*  why does everybody try to find the bottom of the page?

You don't have to!  It's right there where I showed you.

Community is there when you click  'legal privacy and more'

This is the header page -

<<<<<<<<< no scrolling involved!!

[jimmy*part4]

That's right Stawka, but how do you get that page. Because you're showing the page where that link is at the bottom of the screen.

If you google ebay (like millions of people do), it doesn't show that "legal" link at the bottom.

You get this page....http://www.ebay.com/

Edit: ebay Australia....http://www.ebay.com.au/

Although I can reach the bottom of that one? Usually the bottomless page pops up, lol.

And naturally people look for links at the bottom. The only way I know of without scrolling is to click my ebay, sign in, then click the link at the bottom, then communities, then CS.  Or bookmark them and a single click brings you here.

Jimmy, what can I say?     I just googled it myself and this is what I got

http://www.ebay.com.au/

The Aussie page has 'legal privacy and more' on it.

That's why I put up a screen shot - it's the Aussie site we are looking for.

I always found the US site hard to find.

Yes, I edited and put that link in too.

The weird thing....I used to get the bottomless page at both the US and Australian site. Maybe they got sick of the complaints and got rid of it?

Or knew I was trying to make a point, lol.

The US forums are buried even deeper than before. Everything is hidden in groups. One place I post at I can't find, except for the fact I have it bookmarked.

But what about the Help forums ... Buying and Selling .....   if users can't find them they will be flooding ebay with

queries. instead of members helping them.   Stupido.

I wondered the same thing. I'm a buyer, but tried to learn selling. Everytime I think I know what I would do I'd read some questions about selling. I never knew any answers, lol.

My guess....that's why they are pushing out the small sellers. At this point buyers feel all warm and safe, but once all they have are the large chains to deal with, that safe feeling will disappear. But...that will take time for that kind of reputation to catch up with them and like I mentioned the people that created that mess will move on by then. Taking their golden parachute with them.

It's like legally looting a company.

One thing that proves it....They knock off x amount of negative feedbacks off the large chains feedback. They can also dispute a negative feedback that they deserve and usually get their way. I've seen it.

The large chains don't need the help boards. Buyers will be left scratching their heads.
