Anyone else hate the new eBay Motors layout?

Big 10-4 there. I hate it. You can't find anything fast, it just one BIG pain. I actually sent a complaint to EBay about it, looks like I am going to have to do it again.

Good idea, I'll do the same right now. Doubt it'll do much good, though.

I just hit the button to select the old view. Yes I hates it but they give you an option.

Really, I looked for just such an option but did not see one. I'll check again...

yup .... it lasted all of 30 seconds ... and I selected the old format.

Just found it. I expected such an option to be on the main page, not on a search results page... weird. Well I wrote them anyway just to let them know how much I hated it.

Looks like they're trying to make eBay seem more like a legitimate store.

Where did you find this button to get rid of it?

Edit: NM, found it.

Go ahead and click on a category to start a "search". In he top right corner of the search results page you'll see something like "the NEW ebay motors - option" click on options and one of them will be to switch to the old version.

I found it, thats way better. Thanks Guys!!!

Glad I'm not alone in my hatred for the new format. Damned "New Coke" morons have their hand in everything don't they?

With the new layout, I find myself clicking the same thing over and over to get where I want to be. I want 'parts and accessories', before all I had to do was click it one time and pick my parts group. With the new crappy layout, you have to go through 3 or 4 different screens selecting 'parts and accessories', and even then I can't find the stuff that I know is there. I am glad that I am not alone because I think the new layout sucks.
How do you send a feedback to them about it?

My latest eBay gripe is when I do a search it seems to be defaulting to 'Best Match' instead of ending first.

I don't hate it. I've actually used a few of the new features with a general like of the new layout. I don't know what conditions you all use it for that makes it so much harder to use then the old version but maybe I haven't explored it enough to find it's weak points.

It's impossible to find anything quickly and its gives inaccurate/imprecise search results. For example, I'm a big Kitcar fan, in the old version there was an Ebay Motors category labeled Replica/Kit Makes - click on that and there ya' go - about 30 kitcars for sale at any given time. Now if I select that same category in the New Ebay Motors I get about 300 vehicles, still only about 30 of them are really kitcars or replicas, the rest are just cars for sale that happened to have "replica" or "kit" somewhere in their description .

I agree with everyone. I couldnt use it to find parts for my Coronet without having to look at every dodge item on EBay. I went back to the old one where I could type in 66 coronet and come up with ONLY those parts.

I COMPLAINED WHEN THEY "TESTED" IT PRIOR TO INITIALIZING! Yet here is still is. Total crap. And WHY do I have to "find" the home page again in order to search outside of e-bay motors! It's just crap!
