.. from today, all buyers and sellers will be presented with the new Item Description Page.

What do you think of the "New Look" pages?

I like the better photos and the layout of the seller details on the right.

I don't like the tabs - why put Postage and Payments on a separate page? From the listings I've looked at over the last couple of weeks most sellers put these details in the Description section anyway.

As a buyer, I like the idea of a 'Related Items' tab but I don't imagine many sellers would like it. Seems some of the 'Related Items' links that I've looked at have only their own items, others have a mix of their own items and other sellers and some have none of their own items, all other sellers! Why would you want a clickable link directly to another seller's similar item on your listing?

An example: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Infinity-Coffee-Table-Brand-New-Design-RRP-1200_W0QQitemZ180400332319QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Living_Room_Furniture?hash=item2a00b29e1f&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14

Musta be new to you. It's been the dysfunctional norm for awhile now, here in enemy U.S. territory.

Nothing good shall come from this.

GET OUT while you can!
