WWTBAM Bored

First, eBay changed its look overnight.

Now, the bored.

Then, I read that Linens 'n Things is closing.

And the latest: Iceland is going broke!!

This must be the end times.

Ebay keeps forcing that on everybody periodically, hoping that somebody will actually like it.

Just click on "opt out" in the upper right hand of the page and you'll get your good old 'my ebay' back like before.

I know. If there's nothing wrong, don't change it.

I only like about 10% of the changes they've made.

--dimmzy, who's probably just holding a grudge because TurboLister isn't Mac/Safari/Firefox friendly. C'mon, eBay, get with it: Maccies are here to stay.

This is like the fourth or fifth time they've 'gifted' me with it, they just can't take a hint. What worries me is that it used to say "Beta" and now it says "Preview" so I'm afraid that soon there won't be an opt out.

I hate Turbo Lister, it constantly screws up listings. It's also very tedious, so it's kind of the antithesis of "Turbo". I've been using Auctiva for about four or five months and I love it! The best thing is you can do scheduled listings without the extra charge that TL or SYI makes you pay.

I'm familiar with it ... some others have recommended it. I got suspicious because of its price (nothing).

And the New York Times combined its Sports and Business sections and eliminated Metro. Adding to the misery...

They get their money from insurance with U-Pic, website hosting, checkout services and a bunch of advertiser crap (counters and those game things) they put in your listings. But you can uncheck all that stuff in your settings. The only thing I keep is the gallery (with a changed format and location) because I think that's an advantage.

I like Auctiva, too. Lots of neat templates to use. When I'm selling, I spend the week creating the listings and then have them dumped into eBay on the weekend. You can even space the uploads so they don't all end at once. Nice.

P.S. to dimmzy: I still have to check on the hat. I'll try to get back to you over the weekend.
