More eBay changes coming

I noticed last night that I can now watch more than 100 items, so I went into the community boards and found that I can now watch 200 items but there is some new thing rolling out called "My eBay Beta" which seems to be pissing off a lot of people.

I did not get the details but heads up. Everytime eBay changes something, things get f*cked up.

ebay also announced a partial rollback of their disastrous feedback policy changes. In August, neutral feedbacks will go back to being treated as (

) neutral. So if your % took a nosedive back in May, you may see it bounce back.

they need to bring back the ability to leave scumbag buyers negative feedback.

They changed Ebay.UK recently, the search facilities became next to useless.

However they are very good at responding to feedback, and I've always had very pertinent replies. The system has been returning back to something close to previous use-ability.

I also use Ebay.com, Ebay.de, Ebay.it and the sites all have their differences.

eBay works awfully hard to break things. Give credit its due.

I've heard that ebay is working to push out regular sellers, and turn into an auction-based Amazon (essentially). Supposidly there was a memo about it. It's all rumor now, though.

Google really needs to com out with an ebay competitor. They already have a Paypal competitor.

If google came out with some competition, it would crush ebay.

I check tonight and my saved searches were half gone and I couldn't get them back. eBay changes usually suck.
