More eBay Community Boards "Improvements"?

[baybizz]

>> Introducing the new eBay Community boards (again):

>> We haven't made any announcements about the "General Discussion Boards", which is a category of discussion boards under the "Discussion Boards" heading. We will be restructuring the discussion boards, and we have announced how some will be restructured, but we have not made an announcement about the "General Discussion Boards"...   Well, that's clear then...

That's .com not us at .co.uk

It looks like they're restructuring the front page to make it 'easier' to find stuff.

No content will be removed from the Community.

Whether that means many boards will be merged remains to be seen.  The US does have a vast number of boards and it's not suprising that they'd want to restructure it if it would mean reducing the cost of running all those different boards.

Yep. After today there will no longer be general discussion boards. They are being moved in to groups.

At least on the American sites. If they're doing it there, it seems likely they'll do it here too. I hope not, but I wouldn't hold out for a miracle.

Ain't they "done it" yet?

I think the choice of the word "group" gave the wrong idea of the use of the word in the context of eBay discussion boards.

In the eBay community, "group" means a group of people who get together and post in/on their own board (which can be public or private) within the eBay community.

What eBay meant with regard to the changes to the boards (US for the moment?) was that the grouping of the discussion boards was being changed.

Hi we all are not happy about the new system lets face it people, sellers are getting scammed by the new system from eBay money back guaranteed, the buyers are not happy or swooping products or changing in someway and it's costing us! What are we going to do about this people, we have to think of something this can't go on forever, eBay and PayPal are making millions a day from us, so what ideas do we have people? It's not fair I'm always giving out refund because, the buyers are taking advantage out of the sellers not only that the new system has killed the sellers, in a way eBay system is a crime for letting buyers getaway with items and we have to refund for items that's wasn't even your as a seller
