eBay

I just did a search and sorted by "time ending soonest". I got only 7 out of 48 results on the page that even had a time ending stamp. That's because most of the results were Sponsored "Buy it Now" listings that had days to weeks left before they ended and ebay tries to hide it (like we're idiots) by not putting the timestamp on or labeling it as "Sponsored". That's like 6 or 7 unwanted results for every wanted result!!! You can't even call that sorting! Just another way to waste our time and force us to look at stuff we don't want to see. **bleep**??? Over. This seems like it just changed in the last day or two. Either that or they try out their beta **bleep** on us after midnight. Either way I hate it ebay, and people are smarter than that. They're going to go somewhere else if you decide you're going to waste out time like that. It's especially insulting that you do that AFTER asking how we want them sorted. If You're going to do that don't bother asking us and just do it the way you want. Then we can go somewhere else that respects our decisions.

I also just noticed that they don't have the item condition listed with the results like they used to. You have to go all the way to the listing page to see if it's new or used. (I'm viewing all of these in list view, 48 to a page, using firefox), the way I always have, and they didn't used to look like this.

I noticed a long time ago that Amazons Search was pretty **bleep**ty too, and they are way to slick and high tech to do that by accident. They just want to force you to look at what they want you to look at.

It's totally disrespectful.

It's their sell tactic, for the sellers that pay for promoted listings. I wondered how those listings would effect regular (non promoted) listings because I noticed very few results (including my own, non promoted, that weren't listed) when searching for things... i think these are both different symptoms from the same original cause. Ebay's greed & favoritism.
We need to find out how to present this to the ebay workers on here (although they will, of course, just make excuses for it and dismiss it...) they still should hear about how we notice & feel about it.
