New Ebay Nonsense Selling And Buying.

Here's a few things I've noticed recently:

When selling:

I check the 30 day time frame when listing a BIN, and when I go to preview listing it has reverted to a 7 day time frame. So I have to go back and recheck the 30 days to make it stick. It happens all the time, so I know I'm not imagining it. IMO they tweaked the software to get more listing fees.

When bidding:

In the past when I was bidding on something and was lazy, I just kept hitting the bid button, and the next bid increment would pop up, and I'd confirm it, and I'd keep advancing my bid by one increment at a time. Now I notice that if you just hit the bid button, no amount appears, and ebay suggests an amount that is above the next increment....TRICKY. So if you don't know the next increment depending on the amount of the current bid, you might get confused.

The worst thing I just noticed, is when you place a bid, and the bid window slides in for you to confirm your bid, it covers the time clock for the time remaining in the auction. That is a horrible idea, and I don't expect that software tweak to last long. It makes sniping much more difficult without having a separate window open, or having my watch timed perfectly.

I guess they messed with sellers as much as possible, now it's the buyers turn.
