Frequently bought together - causing massive lag and page shifts up/down rapidly
This frequently bought together 'feature' has just appeared for me on the eBay website in the last few days and it is a complete headache. As I scroll through my purchases, the page rapidly begins to scroll itself up and down rapidly, sending me sometimes multiple items away from what I was intending to look at. As this happens more and more the page becomes laggy and does not recover until a new page is loaded. I don't have a weak machine, it's just poor design.
I understand that it is possible to defer these recommendations for 30 days, but not only do I not trust that this option will remain, I strongly believe this should be entirely optional permanently. It is completely invasive in a space that is otherwise usually free from disruptions. I understand that eBay wants more sales on its site, but if the point is "Frequently bought together", well I already made my purchase didn't I?
