I agree. UI is awful, it's like every page you visit has a different design (compare browsing products to account management pages). Completely different interface again on mobile.

I also find it ridiculous they have some much advertising on it - both buyers and sellers are producing revenue through seller fees and paypal transactions. Why do they need ads as well?

I've tried to use other selling sites but always end up back at ebay as they have far more stuff for sale, and more buyers.

They change stuff seemingly at random, usually for the worst, I always imagine various competing groups in the organization just add and remove features and how things work when they feel like it or need to show that they are "doing something."
I shop a lot on Ebay, I think it really works well.
it's slow as hell, clunky interface , hidden options, bouncing from one page to another in apparently different designs and versions. The seller interface is quite terrible, but even the shopping experience is pretty outdated.
PayPal too.
yeah paypal redesign is half assed and awful. i keep having to look for the 'switch to old version' buttons
With you
