New User Interface

[njmresearch]

The new user interface represents a new low in human factors design. Extensive white space,  worthless use of color, poor font size, and on and on. The selected home page for a user should be compact, readable, and permit immediacy of execution. TIME IS MONEY. I don't need a page or pages that is designed to be "cute."  I want performance. If they do  away with the "classic page" I will  definitely leave Ebay for another site; and there are several now that have gained traction in the crafter space that I work in. EBAY STOP TRYING TO BE CUTE AND GET BACK TO YOUR CORE BUSINESS AND PRESENTATION!

@njmresearch,

On each buying selling home page is a "Tell Us What You Think" button. in the upper right. Click on it and let them know how you feel. That is all we can do.

HI Yes I did that. Unfortunately they limit you to 200 characters per message. So, it appears they really don't want a considered opinion based on some facts, just a "gee, I ike it or I don't."  Its not like the design of human interfaces is something new; it just appears to be not apparently well understood by the designers of their web interface.  A quote from my old engineering days seems to apply here: "If builders built buildings the way programmers wrote programs,  the first woodpecker that came along would destroy civilization!"

Yeah, it seems the "tell us what you think" button is misnamed.

It should be called "blow off a little steam in 200 words or less."

I don't believe that the programer's mission here is to build a better building nor a better shopping experience. It's to build a better mouse trap. Any guess who's the mouse?
