Default What am I doing wrong?

Does anyone else have a problem with viewing items on Ebay? I enjoy looking at items for my 85 Corvette but as of lately it seems as though my computer has to open so many different pages for each item that I scroll down through. It takes forever just to get through the listings as the computer has to slow down and automatically open so many different pages. This all started about a month ago. Is there anything I can do to speed up the viewing process? It used to be a very speedy process viewing items. I don't know what happened.

Ebay sucks now. After having an account for years, I recently cancelled. I dont like the new format. Tired of getting ripped off by sleezy people.

I look at an item and then hit the back icon in the upper left of IE and move on and repeat. No problems. You might try opening the tools icon, then internet options and then delete files and clear history.

New rules:

You probably have to have a Paypal account, finger prints on file and sign a waiver that you won’t get angry with them. If you are selling, you’ll have to have a witness to all this!

As soon as you do this they will change the rules and only accept finger prints from your right hand, it will be your luck you sent them in with your left. (Oh, did I forget that you’ll be forced to use your balance on hand and not your credit card either.)

Now they will doubt it’s you when you send in your right hand prints and may ask you to email customer support!

After a week they will respond to you with this generic computer generated email telling you that Aljedge your specialist can not help you with your problem and to please call support! You’ll call only to find out that Aljege is no longer employed there and can someone else help you!

Seriously, no I’ve not had any problems with viewing pages. You may have something going on with your computer.

Try doing a scan with an malware anti malware, gets a lot of junk out of the computers system, I did it on mine, and no problems since.

Well that wouldn't really be EBay's fault now would it?

Default Problem fixed!

Hooray!!! I fixed the slow Ebay problem! There is an area that states "Opt out of the new search experience" and I did. No more slow problems. Thing is........I never elected to try the "new search experience". It just installed itself.
