New eBay Search Format

[superlew]

Feel free to move this topic if I posted it in the wrong forum.

I am not a big-time eBay shopper/seller, but I use it. Most of the time I am just "window shopping", but the new search format is bugging me because it no longer lists the item location. As a window shopper, I like to see the item location in my search. Although a window shopper may not be intending to buy anything, if they see an item located close to them, I would think they are more likely to click on that listing. That "click" might make the differece between "window shopper" and "potential buyer" - and maybe even a "buyer." You would think that would be in the best interest of eBay because a sold item means fees. Fee=Profit.
Sorry for my little soap box diatribe, but I am wondering what other's thoughts are on this.
Doesn't sound like the MENSA President is running the show over at eBay.

I still see the old version and I don't see any location information listed for items in the search results.

I see every item location on e-Bay

Is it making you view it in "Gallery View" instead of "listing view" ?? It was doing that to me for a while, I hate "Gallery view"..
Do you guys ever try to guess where the box is being sold from just by the quality of photograph? I do! I'm usually about 69% right...

It's letting me use "list" view (I hate the "gallery" view too). But the location isn't showing up in either view. It does give the option to see seller information, but no location unless I click on the listing.

Well, it's easy to spot boombox sellers from China.

The 'new' bidding dialogue box rubbish caused me to lose one of those 4 speaker sanyo minis tonight, so yeah, you could say I'm not enamoured with the 'upgrades' they've made to the system....



Rock On.

Well...
Looks like they brought the "location" back to the search feature.

I can't believe they listened to me!
That's why they brought it back, right?

They'r getting smarter....

The layout is back.
...And today it's wicked annoying. A friend asked me if I knew anyone locally selling a turntable. I said no, but I told him I'd check ebay and email him some listings.
Problem is, it takes a long time to click every listing and then scroll halfway down the page to see where the item is. Oh, and the distance tool thinks NYC is 50 miles from Boston, but that's nothing new.
