Has anyone else noticed that you have to scroll waaaaaaaay down to the bottom of the page to find items awaiting payment? It used to be so simple - you log on and the first thing you saw was what needed to be paid. In my humble opinion, they should make paying extremely easy not a hide and seek game! Very strange website design.

The only possible explanation I can think of is that they want all your attention going to items that are about to close to eke out those last minute bids. Perhaps they figure once you've bid, you're locked in and payment becomes secondary.

Problems like that make me appreciate the Stamporama web design so very much! So clear, uncluttered and easy to navigate, fast to load - just perfect! Love this site! Watch out, Bobby, I may start singing my Stamporama theme song again!Laughing

re: Ebay hide and seek for items to pay

Hi Everyone;

It is not just that they want to have you notice first, what is about to close, they also want
you to NOT notice how much you have already spent, so you won't, until it's too late realize
that you are way over your budget.

If you bid on 20 items, expecting to win only 5 or 10, but instead win all 20, you would not
bid on additional items. If you see the ones that are about to close, instead of how much
you owe, you may end up spending so much that PayPal will try to get the funds from your
checking account and get an insufficient funds notice and your bank will charge you an over-
draft fee.

They must have recently changed this feature. I didn't used to be that way. They used to list
items in the order they were bid on. Their corporate greed has their fangs in a rock trying to
suck blood from it, and we are the rock.

I wonder if there is a user setting that can restore the old way of listing?

Just a thought....

If stamp collectors were like web page designers we would wake up and decide to redo album pages frequently and for no good reason.

One week;
"Gee I think those Chinese Junks would look so much better mounted sideways this week. I can't read the Mandarin overprints anyway. ..."

A few weeks later;
" ... Hmmm, I think I'll remount my Machins according to the color wheel. Yes, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue and Sweet Violets. That's the ticket...."
