I echo the thoughts on the eBay boards that I hope the replacement technical officer actually has a scoobie about what the hell they are doing.

    I wonder if this was before or after today's fiasco. It was either a parting gift or the last straw.

    I think the tamebay page was dated 11th, so he obviously pulled the plug out as he left the building.

    well I usually like to list on a Sunday early evening ( I say like , but actually I dont enjoy any aspect about Ebay now ,apart from that Paypal tally )

    - but since he has quit ,Im supporting him by not going into work today either - just kick back with a few tinnnys of cider .......
    As Martin says - please be nice - there is no such thing as a stupid question ! ;)

    Exactly. And I hope the next person in the job has the sense to roll back some of the design changes to My Ebay. Not having a visible dispatch date is madness.

    Relying on a dispatch notification email which may or may not arrive, and an estimated date which is often useless for international orders, is not good enough.

    been getting 4's for communication when all else was 5's. I'm now wondering if the above was the reason... :eek:

    Didn't notice anything strange last night (what happened?), but for the past week or so I haven't been able to access page 2 and beyond of my watched items (buy section).

    Got all excited then, thought it said the CEO of Ebay had resigned :(
    You're only young once, but you can be immature forever :D
