New eBay Motors Trashed My Saved Searches!
 
All 43 of my saved searches now are junk.. THANK YOU eBay Motors.....:mad:

I cleared cookies on my browser - but that doesn't work anymore either.

Who's the rocket scientist that came up with this plan??

I had the same problem. If you look in the upper right hand corner, you will see a place where you can go back to the classic ebay motors style where your saved searches should still be.

That worked - Thanks!

Do you then have to re-create the searches, because when I click on one of mine, it no longer brings up a list, it brings me to the new e-bay motors home page.

wheres the tab on the upper right corner

The new Ebay format sucks, you have to be too spacific. Cant do a gereral search like the old format.

Stupid ebay.

The Boss 01-16-2008 06:56 PM

Found it, I'm back up, Thanks!

6704gto 01-16-2008 07:53 PM

im still looking for it i cant find the tab

The Boss 01-16-2008 09:40 PM

Right hand side, near the top of the page but underneath the banner. I think it says options.

abefromen 01-16-2008 09:42 PM

Ebay did it to me last night and I about popped a blood vessel until I found out you can switch back...........

frankyboy455 01-16-2008 11:38 PM

I just can't find it. What "banner" are you talking about ? I am positive, there is NO option anywhere. Could it be they removed it so we can now only use the new ebay motors ?

It might be based on the cookie EBay puts on your PC. They give you a day or two of torture before the option out button shows up. Thats how mine worked.

IS IT ON THE EBAY MAIN PAGE OR EBAY MOTORS CAUSE IM NOT FINDING IT,THIS BITES

I thought the old format was fine, was working great for me and didn't have any problems with it.

The new format does suck, way too much crap taking up the screen, not to mention I lost my searches (will look for the option button). I was not on it long at all last night, usually spend a couple of hours searching all kinds of pontiac stuff. Since I had to re-type all my searches in just to look for stuff, I just shut it down.

Yeah - exactly what I did. The good news is that once you return to the OLD eBay Motors site, your old searches will work again!

Change is OK - but not when you trash your existing customer base... pay attention Meg Warren!!

Lately they seem to be tweaking things for the sake of tweaking things with no real improvement needed in the first place.

Like everything else in our throw away society.

Ollie 01-17-2008 12:25 PM

I sent a message to them saying the new format really sucks.
I will try looking for the tab to return to the old format.

Ollie 01-17-2008 12:38 PM

I just looked I cannot find the options button on the home page or motors page.
Can someone post a screen shot? Thanks

Ollie 01-17-2008 01:23 PM

Ebay feed back
 
I JUST FOUND THE OPTIONS BUTTON AND SWITCHED BACK TO THE OLD FORMAT.
ALSO UNDER THE OPTIONS IS A FEED BACK BUTTON, SELECT THIS BUTTON AND IT TAKED YOU TO A FEED BACK SURVEY. TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO FILL OUT THE SURVEY,
LISTING ALL THAT YOU DONT LIKE ABOUT THE NEW FORMAT.
Sorry just realized the caps lock was on.
