Right i'm looking through ebay now as i cannot think of a good reason not a buy a new toy, much to my dismay they've changed it again.

"We're working to make eBay easier to use."
It is easy to fking use to stop bloody pissing about with it and leave it as it is you useless fk wits, why the fk do they have to change it? only a chav couldn't use ebay! fks sake, why the bking hell do thay have to move the pictures? THEY SHOULD BE BELOW THE DESCRIPTION!

So they take 1/2 of our money, take the side of the buyer in near enough all circumstances and now they've made it just fking annoying, bag of st.

I think that quite a lot of the problem arises from the fact that chavs can and do use eBay. Every day.

Stop them, and the place will get a whole load better.

Glad im not the only one that doesnt like the current set up re the item pictures. Bit ste if you ask me

Tired of ebay, everything is overpriced, and anything that isnt will have comical P&P charges

I have bought tons of stuff as its handy but nine times out of ten I can find the same stuff for the same price or cheaper on other internet sites.

Bought wifey a brand new camera from Amazon for the same price as the the same model was selling USED on fleabay.

Bought some parts for a skoda from a specialist's site again way cheaper

I will still use it for stuff I cant source elsewhere but always take the time to search the web for the same item before bidding

agreed, I normally start with Amazon these days, so many different companies in theier marketplace thingie these days, and second hand stuff, you can get almost as much stuff on there as you can on ebay.

I'm going to have a try at selling some crap on ebid at some point, see how that works out.

That's clearly not true.

There are plenty of bargains to be had.

Yesterday for example I bought 6 new old stock exhausts for various eighties Fords for 99p each.

The day before a brand new clutch kit for Mk2 XR2 for £1.07
