I don't know if it's enough to keep us from
now seeing
20 planes filtering out onto ebay...
Unlikely. "posthuman" buys a lot.
Sadly, it will not be part of the CHM collection.

I notice more $%#! ads popping up to waste bandwith.

I hadn't noticed yet, but that sucks.

eBay's UI has gotten worse and worse. "They don't care - they don't have
to." I hate the poor design that causes major page restructuring after I think
it's loaded - and I end up clicking on some stupid ad rather than the listing I want
to see. When I worked for a major web destination, we worked hard to eliminate
disruptions like that.

I thought the higest bidder was shown after the auction closed.

Yes, it truly sucks. I know that I've gotten to know a lot of folks in this community
through the bidding histories for various items. I recall being on various email threads
where a lot of us professed reluctance to get into bidding wars with each other that
artificially inflate the prices of vintage items. Needless to say, that's contrary to
eBay's interest in generating the greatest possible fees, and I believe that was the
motivation behind this change. I don't buy the arguments about "increasing
customer safety" - I can't think of a single plausible scenario where I was
"threatened" by the old UI, and many ways that benefited me. In any case, I
find myself shopping eBay less than I once did.... -- Ian
