Hi all,

 

Apologies I haven't posted for a bit, I unexpectedly had some time off. Anyway back now and catching up on everything.

 

I'm hearing from you that the look and feel and functionality of the US boards aren't what you want to see introduced here. We'll give this consideration as we look at a refresh/redesign.

 

The good news is that as I've stated previously, we're not looking at any drastic changes right now, any redesign is unlikely to happen until next year. 

 

Regards

Michelle

welcome to ‘next year’ folks.  Haven’t heard a peep about the redesign of the boards to make them more in line with the layout/format/appearance/dis-function of the USA boards.

 

On another thread, michelleoz said the new layout would likely happen in early ‘18.  It would be nice to get a more specific timeframe for changes.

Not to mention the 'regular' "Chat with eBay Staff", the last of which was in September.

 

Not that they appeared to be of any use, given the eBay staff chose the topics and didn't include anything that a seller with more than a week's experience wouldn't already know.

Seems like the discussion board or the Lithium software itself was updated in the last couple of days - Firefox is now complaining about connection security, showing the yellow triangle near the address bar (which does not happen on eBay itself or anywhere else I regularly visit). The same thing also occurs on the US and UK discussion boards, probably other regions as well.

That's because they didn't changed the security protocols on those sites,(they changed them for eBay itself so

 

that they have a secure page).

 

eBay stopped using SSLV3/SSL3.0 security protocols for it's main sites as it has security issues,(hence the

 

changes that were recently made)

 

The discussion boards don't need that same security so they left it at the old protocols,(it just means that any

 

"flagged" HTTP or HTTPS page may contain unsecured HTTP information).

 

Well that was NO reason to state that I was shaming anyone, nothing in my email stated any name, I stated that an eBay business that was listed as its LOCATION " AUSTRALIA, AUSTRALIA" NO NAMES were documented, you re-read my email, its about the Location of item for sale, nothing more. My query is why it is allowed, as the so-called location actually is non-existent in reality, its not a Town or City in Australia. I do my darnest to shop here in Australia first, this appears to be you are condoning these Sellers to slip under the carpet falsely stating their Locations against our Local Sellers here in Australia who do the right thing to their possible customers by giving their true location.

Too much Christmas Cheer?

Why wait seven and a half years to reply to the person?

 

What 'email' are other members here supposed to be reading?

 

Why say 'you do your darnest to shop in Australia first' when you have numerous feedback from sellers in China which clearly show otherwise?

 

YOU are the one supporting these sellers. They don't 'slip under the carpet' if you looked who you were buying from, you would know they are not registered here

 

Take responsibility for your own choices instead of sprouting nonsense on an ancient thread
