eBay view/layout question

[Shrevvy]

When I click on an active eBay auction, I no longer get the full description. I have to click on a link that says "see full item description" and the text or additional pictures pops up in a new window. Did eBay change its layout or did I do something that changed my personal settings? I would like see the full description when I simply click on an auction. I am viewing eBay on a desktop computer, not a mobile device.

 

Can anyone tell me what I have done (if anything) to screw this up?

is this for sold listings?

You haven't done anything -- ebay is apparently running some 'beta' tests where some unwitting users experience new functions on the site. I am having the same thing happen, it is very annoying. There are a lot of people complaining about it on the ebay forums. Such a stupid idea....

 

If you try on a different computer you may or may not have the same issue, it is somewhat random whether they choose your IP# for the test.

 

According to an ebay spokesperson on the forum, the test will end at the end of the month, and things will be back to normal while they evaluate the results, then we'll see what happens...

Happens to me on everything I look at. I keep filling out there questionnaire form and tell them its stupid. To me its a way for Ebay to eliminate the sellers template and more room for them to have click through ads.

Thanks guys. It is incredibly annoying. Even worse there is no notification or button that I click and return to normal. Hope this goes away at the end of the month and never comes back. The point of showing more ads is the only thing I can think of from eBay's standpoint. It certainly makes it harder, not easier, for me to evaluate an item on which I want to bid. Stupid.
