Ebay's Guinea Pig, New Listings Style Test

    Two days ago I noticed my bookmark for new listings in ancients on ebay look different. Thought it was my ad blocker, but trying it with ad block off and other random searches, it would seem I am a test subject for what new listings pages "may" look like.

    Below is the pic, lower left is a "tell us what you think" link when I am on it.

    I myself HATE the new look. I am limited to 50 per page instead of 200, I liked knowing when the listing was listed time wise so I know where to stop viewing from my previous viewing time. And lastly it's just cluttered.

    Anyone else a test subject?

    Only works in ancients, for my action figure searches and misc, its the old ebay style.

    I've not noticed any change in a long time. Are you sure it is not a browser rendering?

    No, because Martin posted above of having the same thing and it even shows "New ebay shopping experience".

    It's happening to me across a range of browsers on different machines so not a browser rendering.

    I noticed it as well. I recently switched browsers so thought it was that at first but no, it's the same on multiple ones. I look at every single RR coin listed on eBay and this really annoys me as well.

    I had grown accustomed to viewing 200 items at a shot. That option seems to be gone. I see only 50 coins per page now.

    I've found that eBay sometimes forgets my display preferences, and starts showing things in the style you show. I have to go in and re-customize things -- find the View drop-down at the upper right of the results section, select Customize... , and select the fields you do and don't want to see.

    I do miss the (very) old customization system that let you change the order in which things appeared, but it was a lot more complicated and harder to use. I've resigned myself to living in the new world Apple has wrought, where simple things are simple, and complex things are possible not something you should bother your little head with.

    It sounds like they are rolling out something new, though, and it's possible that the preferences I rely on will be taken away. I sure hope not.

    Something changed for me also. It was slight. I was able to view every item in a category with a few clicks of the mouse. Now I have to copy and paste into the search window to get the same search response. I was always searching 50 a page so I don't know if that changed for me.
