Guest edalfa Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I've been selected to preview the new Ebay motors site! To quote Archie Bunker "Woop-de-do!" Anyhow-what is the concensus from anyone else? I find it a bit confusing but I prefer full page menus to drop downs. I guess it is supposed to make things seem more dynamic. It weren't broke so....Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhclark Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I much prefer the regular Ebay site to the Ebay motors site. The Motors site seems outdated and has nowhere near the options or ease of use of the main site, so I can't wait to check it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave@Moon Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I noticed yesterday that they've changed to format on both eBay and eBay Motors to include <span style="text-decoration: underline">advertizing</span> on the search pages. Not only that but the ads are <span style="text-decoration: underline">active</span>, with moving images and links. Most of the ads are for cars.First of all, <span style="font-weight: bold">just how much money do they need to make???</span> Secondly, with my fast DSL connection, I had a 3-10 second delay before I could negotiate the search pages. The page would not scan up or down until the ad was fully loaded. It's irritating as hell to have to sit there and wait to hear how wonderful the Ford Fusion is before I can check for parts for the car I DO own.

Guest Stonefish Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 the new Ebay motors site is horrible!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_buick5563 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I have never liked searching through ebay motors. Regular ebay is much easier to find things I have needed in the past.Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweepspear Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I find the bright white background is hard on the eyes, and I also noticed that the location of the item isn't displayed in the list. I have to open the actual auction to see the location.I took their little survey on what I thought of the new format, and vented my frustrations. As if it will do any good, but I felt better!I don't know why they have to fix what isn't broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DELTAWINGFLYER Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Ebay motors is all I ever searched ,did not notice the differents from the main site ,until now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_MrEarl Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 And what's with all the most sincere and personal bull crap that pops up when you bid.... "Congrats 54roadmasters, you're the first bidder. Hope you win!"and then when you don't win they get all mushy and say..."Sorry, you were outbid. This item sold to hopeis2easy for US $1,979.54."and this car didn't even meet reserve but they still say someone won it. This happens all the time now.

Guest DaveCorbin Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 It looks like a website written by a computer geek, instead of a car guy. Instead of saying "oldest first" the new site says "year increasing." It's a piece of trash. If e-bay paid for that redo, the should either fire their programming team or ask for their money back. I sent them these sentiments weeks ago.No Regards to e-bay, Dave Corbin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_buick5563 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 You guys need to let it go. It's making me want to go investigate just to see how bad it is, and I didn't like it before."Hey, smell this. Has this milk gone bad?"

TG57Roadmaster Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 And I thought I was special 'cause I, too, was "selected to preview the new ebay Motors" site. Yeah, it bites, and there's WAY too much information (do I care what: color; mileage; price range, etc.), but it's not so horrible to get used to. Well, maybe the "price range" thingy isn't so bad...Even with the survey, you know they're not going to change it back!TG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest windjamer Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Thank you sky & Dave and all the rest for confirming Im not nuts.I also sent them a reply asking to be removed from there test. I will not use or buy off the new site. If enough of us tell them it shi-s the bed maby they will leave it alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reatta Man Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Thanks for all the negative feedback on the "new" ebay motors. I also think it sucks bigtime, but was wondering if all that 'feedback' must have been positive because they seem to be determined to cram this new 'pastel' version down our throats. I don't like the look, the options (can't find 'closed' auctions, only 'previously sold' which gives a skewed view of what an item really bid for) and countless other flaws. Keep complaining; I would just be happy if they let people choose the 'old' or 'new' versions to load when they go to the site; that would honestly tell them which site people prefer.

vegasdelta Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 After submitting negative feedback twice, E-bay changed me back to the old format. Either they listen or didn't want to hear any more complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
