Why am I not seeing a link for Sent Messages anymore? All these new page improvements, are just making the site harder to navigate and making it less user friendly. Please stop

You mean I have to click on  "sent" to see my sent emal?

Unbelievable!

I'm actually wondering if this is another 'experiences' thing, where what one sees another doesn't.

It is possible to collapse that leftmost pane of the message inbox window using the arrow-in-a-box icon in the upper left of your image, so some users may not see that entire column when opening the message inbox page unless they click on that icon to expand the options again.

You have to do some clicking to get results.   You have to click on the tiny small miniature arrow to open up the menu. 

Or you look for the curved arrow in the message title as a signal this was a sent message.

why do they have to hide everything?  

I am trying to type a message and they hide the bottom row as I type.  

Bad money chases out good.    The site is running so much slower lately, I can see the way the new programming is slower and less defined - frequently it loads up wrong or just doesn't load at all.

Are you using a high zoom magnification setting? Sometimes that can cause formatting issues.

If the odd layout of the message inbox and message entry field is causing issues, sometimes you may be better off forwarding your eBay messages from members to your email, and then replying directly to the email (not using the blue "reply" button in the message body). Then you can compose your message in your email client instead of using eBay's tiny entry field.

👍Was just going to post that. All the links to the left disappear as I normally make the zoom 133% or higher to see the type easier. Took me awhile to figure out why they were missing.

I have run into that as well; unfortunately the effect varies and is highly dependent on the specific page design and the particular browser used -- and often the individual browser version, with older versions often being more susceptible to this sort of issue.

I automatically assumed that someone would know that and just expand the categories, thus my wondering if this was some other formatting they were testing.

Thank you, I see the column now, oddly yesterday, that function didn't work at all.
