Dear mr ebay web site [always thought of ebay as a 'he']
Why do you always disregard our default setting on the search landing page and insist on showing us best match in gallery form for the active, and the equally useless ended recently for the sold or completed stuff? Why do you even have default settings if you will just disregard them?
We don't want to see your idea of a best match - Your idea of a best match is 'highest price = more fees." - Our idea of a best match are the ones made of wood that you can light in the wind and comes in a box and you can light on a wall. And we're not even looking to buy any of the stuff we search - we want to sell our copies of that stuff for less then everybody else. Same thing with ended. I'm very happy that 'knee-no-bend-since76' sold 'it' twelve seconds ago, good for them - maybe then can now get that knee fixed ... but I just want to see cheapest first.
And galley - we don't want to 'see' three things side by side by side, all at once, just one thing at a time thank you. We know how to scroll downward to check out the rest one by one, don't need your help.
And also a slight aside but really part of the same problem -
When we roll over the sold ... I mean orders tab on the active page, wait for the list and then roll down to 'all sold ... I mean 'all orders' and open in new tab ... why do you show us 'awaiting payment' when there aren't any AND ONLY show us what we want, when there ARE payments awaiting payment???
