EBay Rots!!!

[joe_collector]

Those freaks at EBay look to have changed the code/variables for many of their current functions, which means....

 

I have to replace most of my "Favorites" and personal EBay links and Searches...

 

[FlyingDonut]

pardon my ignorance, but what are you talking about? did they change the links or something?

Well, this WILL happen from time to time as new processes etc are put in place. but it IS too bad they could not accomodate past links etc. It is not impossible. But the reference to "privacy" would raise a redder flag to me than the lost links. Sounds like something happened that made ebay scramble.

Sure, but this one is far worse and has greater ramifications than anything in the past. All of my Seller Links are toast, some of my specific searches are DOA, some of my personal feedback and other links do not work. I can fix them, but I'm waiting until their crackhead coders get off the bong pipe.

 

If you have set and saved EBay links to very specific areas, you'll see what I mean in very short order.

I have but - as I said - "But the reference to "privacy" would raise a redder flag to me than the lost links. Sounds like something happened that made ebay scramble." - well - if there WAS some sort of security breach then I'd put up with it.

I do know what you mean POV, but their whole system is a security hole.

 

It's just like Microsoft, where a "bug" is a "feature", while at EBay, a "programming error" is a "security fix".

Well, I cannot fault you that analogy!

You need to quit smoking your old Howard the Duck comics. You are seeing things that are not there.

[joe_collector]

Of course I am , now you just go back to searching for Richie Rich comics, and leave the detailed searches and seller links to the experts.

[garthgantu]

Hey, some of those Richie Rich titles are a beyotch to track down... I mean "Richie Rich Baccarat Bimbos and Blondes" is not a title you wanna be keying in on a regular basis, yaknowhatImean?

No joke, and it looks like EBay "enhanced" their latest "security fix" so that the old links work now.
