"Vintage Parts" has disappeared 
I've just had a mail from ebay and they claim that this has been done "to improve customer searching".
Not bloody searching for the Campag Gran Sport and Airlite hubs I have listed it won't. They are now under 'other parts' with tonnes of cheapo MTB tat and cans of slime.
Oddly Vintage Parts is still available to the States. And doubly annoying since the change of listing policy on 'Collectables' has resulted in the flooding of that catagory with masses of crappy balloon tyred junk from the USA
Not happy......

Welcome to ebay. Nothing but trouble.0

A couple of weeks ago they started to run a test on a new ebay layout and grouping. Being a test there was the option to go back to the old listing system. It looks like they have decided that the new one is better.
I hope there is a howl of protest, particularly from some of the people who regularly have multiple postings and are likely to lose business. It is one of my favourite areas and will make searching for some of the stuff I like very much harder..0 -
That new listing thing has given me loads of trouble. I changed my email address a couple of weeks ago and it changed all my items on sale to the old paypal address. As you can imagine that was a bitch to sort out, especially as you can't edit the damn paypal address after you have listed it.0

they are totally useless arn't they. You get the impression that the place is run by a load of 15 year old spotty faced adolescent ijits (apologies to those on here lol )
If you look in the DVD section for anything on War there isn't a section yet they have all sorts of other stupid minoirity sections like travel ? and games and quizzes ? wtf?
Why is it that our sales items don't show on the yanks site yet theirs show up on ours ?
Why do we get 57trillion 000000 ads from China wallahs ? why can't we screen them out. I'm sick of wading through 30 or 40 identical ads from china and Hong Kong.
Grrrrr :twisted: :evil:0 -
It looks like the howls of protest paid off as sometime this morning normal service was restored.0

You can see auctions "from EU only" or from "UK only". that's the first selection I make.
Glad it's been sorted though.
Ebay is so bloody inconsistent throughout. It's the best example of bad web app design ever.0
