UK Community Update - The eBay Community

Well done! I wondered whether to put a link.

Then I thought .... I know, I'll mention it exists to the handful of RT users, then I'll offer directions to get there for a fiver!!  😄😂

OK so its not soo hard to find that, but there are big flaws IMO.  Is there a pm facility?

Maybe its new clothes are still in progress , but why can't they warn us that they haven't finished the work , or that, (allelujah! praise be somebody), they are about to start changes and that certain things may take time to be ironed out? If they use software experts who have any interests in ebay members I bet they know roughly how long things will take and they will presumably have informed the bosses?

A bit of customer consideration wouldn't go amiss 🤔

When this first appeared, very little worked and it took a-a-a-ges for anything to work and lots of things just weren't around. Notifications and messages weren't there but they are now. You have to scroll right up and they're there on the right just to the left of the avatar which they've now changed to circular!

After a while of things taking ages to load, on refreshing, a message appeared (instead of the board) saying the action was being processed, then that disappeared and another message appeared saying the boards were closed "for maintenance....." so there's been some on-going work but the present layout is not useable (on the discussion boards anyway) because how'd you know someone has posted on a thread or on one of the older threads? Are we expected to keep a mental note of the number of posts and spot "Oh look the post count has gone up from 63 to 64 and oh yes, the views have gone up from 695 to 699"????

Take a look at this thread eh?:-

" Is there a pm facility?"

If I click on your user name - top right 'send a message' top right.

Yes I see that thanks, but where can you find messages that have been sent to you, or that you have sent?  I see no inbox or outbox anywhere.  So I assume they are still tinkering

If you scroll up to the top of the page so that you can see the ebay logo, look over to the right and you'll see a bell (for notifications) and an envelope (for messages). I have sent and received with that.

Have some groups been vaporised, do we know?  Can't see any way in My Profile to get to them.

Whoa, things sure are different!

The number of posts that a user has posted is no longer shown, in fact I am classed as an 'Experienced Community Member' the same as many veteran posters, although I've made less than 150 posts, I guess we're all equal now!

Maybe Ebay's way of levelling the playing field so that veteran posters can no longer feel superior to users who have posted less?
