On the app, I used to get a notification of a bid, and could see what that bid was just by looking at the notification.
Now there is a notification,a small image of an emoji wearing a party hat whilst blowing one of those kiddy party blower things, you know, a rolled paper noisemaker that unfurls when blown and makes a rasping “toot” sound. Beloved by children and nobody else.
I now have to click on the notification to open eBay before I can see what the bid is.
Presumably someone in the programming department decided this was a meaningful improvement and is now very pleased with themselves.
