I'm not an "Ebayer" but bookmarked that one. Looks pretty good. Might start looking that way.

I've been buying and selling on eBay since '98. Every few years they come up with something a little different, usually improving the look of the pages. My only gripe with what they've been changing is that in the past few months their pages take longer to load, even with DSL. Too many ads or something.

It's still almost always the best place to find a deal on whatever I'm after. The key is to be patient and not get caught up in a bidding war.[:(]

These don't seem to be radical changes, but rather a pleasant improvement, and make the listings easier to read for these aging eyes. More of the photos are appearing in the search list, making browsing quicker. My only question is, why did this change take so long?[swg]

I am doing something wrong, or is the "going, going, gone" sort "gone"? I liked to check that out before using other search criterea.

They've added a "sort by" drop down window where you can select "ending first or "most recent first" with a couple of other options. I really preferred the oldre interface.

The [}:)] Doctor is in! The Change to E-bay caught me off guard during late night surfing, kind of like Nayland
Smith finding the secret entrance to my lair! Not pleasant!! I find change is good, but what was wrong in the first
place???? Perhaps it is easy on the eyes, time will tell!

Till next missive, I remain the humble,yet [}:)] Doctor!!!
