Grrrr...ebay rant!

I am a huge ebay fan, especially when it comes to cycling clothes. So I was EXTREMELY dissapointed to find tonight that they have rearranged the cycling section and have removed "apparel" from the choices to search for.:eek: Basically this means you have to now do a basic "sporting goods" search or look under the "other" category specific to cycling. Stuff is all over the place now! How will I ever find all the deals???:mad: :mad: :mad:

Yep, and they changed the categorization for bikes -- basically, eliminating the size categories (everything shows as "Other" now). So, instead of being able to browse through all the 48-49cm sized road bikes, you have to "search" for sizes, which pulls up a million hits of the wrong type.

Ugh. I won't have the time or patience to browse there anymore, seems like a bit step backwards on their part! Hopefully enough people will complain (I would think sellers would hate it!) and they'll change it back to the way it was...

I didn't even notice that yet! But you bet I ripped off an email complaint to them immediately. I would think this would upset both buyers and sellers alike! :(

wow, how disappointing! I would never have found my bike without that sorting ability!

I noticed that, too! I sent an email to Ebay 2 days ago and got a response last night that didn't really say anything other than that they are making some changes and to use the search command to type in specific key words. UGHHHH! What a nightmare. This is definitely going to effect their business. I'm sure both buyers and sellers are annoyed.

It's going to affect their business in that it's going to effect customer departure - unless it makes it easier for some bigger segment. Yukkers.
