You won't be able to see active and sold listings on the same page like before but to me that was annoying because there was so much scrolling down the page.
I had a feeling that was the case; thanks for confirming it.
I'd have to say that "annoying" is in the eye of the beholder, though, because when you've only got, say, 10 current listings and 2 sold ones, it's stupid to have to click and page around in separate downloads for each category when all the content can reasonably fit on one page. The old My eBay page was also able to re-order the categories on the page, so if you wanted see Sold before Current instead of after it, I believe you could order it that way.
That's not to say that the older page was a paragon of intelligent design either, which it wasn't, and it expanded on eBay's odd preoccupation with having acres of whitespace around its functional content as compared with what it replaced a few years back, but now of course it looks positively rosy compared to the over-engineered non-solution that we have been presented with here. You have to wonder whether any of the page programmers actually ever sold something on eBay. It's notable that none of them have ever popped up to take credit for the page design, or defend their decisions when making it.
