BEST MATCH DEFAULT - WHAT A CROC OF (BLEEP)!!! - MASSIVE RANT

[x3n0m]

best match default is a disgrace

HEY EBAY IF YOU ARE AWAKE AT THE WHEEL I WOULD LIKE TO LET YOU KNOW THAT USING YOUR WEBSITE AS A BUYER AND A SELLER IS SICKENING

There is so many things wrong with your website .. why did you "fix" what wasn't broken? why did you delete thousands of sub categories? why can't I find anything because of keyword spamming? why are you hiding peoples listings?

I used to really enjoy this place for buying and selling but as best match and advert invisibility has decimated the place my buying and selling activity here has drastically reduced ..

I am kind of interested to know who is benefiting by your systematically hiding peoples listings .. I think the shareholders need to  know more about this obscenity that is obviously choking the server with hidden listings and promoting a handful of business insiders, sycophants and gamers .. I really don't like competing with these people from the bottom of best match and kind of think that someone (with a few braincells to rub together (not a subservient sycophant brown noser but a real marketing expert 100% independent of ebay)) should revisit this whole barbaric whipping and reward system you have in place and recommend to the shareholders that you turn the clock back a few years to where we can actually find what we are looking for and allow all sellers to compete on level footing with the handful of rorters your demonic server software has elevated to god status ..

IF I was a major ebay shareholder I would be extremely peeved to find out that my investment is being managed in such a way as to be deliberately eroding the user base (buyers and sellers) whilst richly rewarding a small percentage of sellers via best match default .. it just seems to be criminal activity to me!!?, what other advertising system in the world foists this bizarre best match default nonsense upon its clientele? ..

Interesting that I am suddenly being bombarded with GUMTREE ads on my home page...!!!

[harley_babes_hoard]

You do know that ebay own Gumtree, don't you?

[5kazam2]

Yes I do.  

And one has to wonder why suddenly GUMTREE ads are appearing on our (my) home page.  ????!!!!!!

And sorry OP, this probably has nothing to do with the point you were making.  But it's curious nevertheless.

Whoops!  The above was supposed to come from 5kazam - didn't read properly who I was before I posted.

Are you perhaps using IE as your browser? If so it is a fault with IE, not ebay and there are dozens of posts about how to fix it. Personally I don't use IE for anything other than this posting id, my 3 selling ids are on Firefox, Chrome and Safari and my buying ids are on a different computer.

"And sorry OP, this probably has nothing to do with the point you were making.  But it's curious nevertheless."

Am sure there are many many things that I have not mentioned in my rant which have been "fixed" (that were not broken) on ebay that actively dilute the product and tantalise the shareholders with magically creative accountancy ..
