New image viewing experience is awful!

EBAY, if you're listening, the new image viewing experience is awful. You seem to have removed the ability to pop the image out into a new window to view a full size image. That was far better than the new "magnified" image within a much smaller footprint on the item page. Please bring back the ability to pop out the full size image and then click through the set of images.

For clarity, I am using Chrome on Mac. The old "expand" icon on the main image (two opposing arrows) was there for me on Chrome/Mac two days ago, but it is gone now.

 

The "expand" icon still remains on Safari/Mac and I am still able to open the old Image browser same as before.

I have no idea what Edge is and see nothing like what Mr_Lincoln has shown in his images on any of my Mac browsers. 

 

This seems to be a Chrome bug and I would really like Ebay to fix it ASAP. 


@jimshow  yes, there are multiple things going on here so that's why I posted what I did to try to help clear up the confusion. 😊

 

What you are talking about with the "expand" function vs only being able to "magnify" is an eBay issue and is likely a test they may be running, not a bug.

 

What Mr Lincoln is talking about with the additional functionality in a "hover menu" is something that Microsoft has added to their Edge browser and shows up on other sites like Amazon and others you may visit as well if you are using that browser.

 

That is not an eBay issue - eBay is not the one adding or controling anything about the "hover menu" and if you click the thumbs down as shown in Mr Lincoln's screenshot, that is going to Microsoft, not eBay.


@valueaddedresource , @mtgraves7984 , @jimshow , @bennotbill , @metranisome   Seems more browsers are having issues ... I have a sneaking suspicion this is an eBay coding issue, not a browser issue.  The functionality to click on the main listing pic and then have the left to right scrolling does not exist on eBay but does exist on another site ... yet through the same browser and with no changes made to the browser (MS Edge) ... screen shot below.

Re: New image viewing experience is awful!

It appears the "expand" images option (opposing arrows button) has been reinstated in Chrome (on Mac). Not sure if that was a bug or a test, but I'm glad it's back!
