I see there's also an extra yes/no question when leaving feedback for "did your item arrive on or before xx/xx/xx". That wasn't there before right? That's in addition to the star rating for shipping speed that's still there

It's new, and I'm scared to hit No even if it didn't arrive by the USPS' guesstimate. I don't want the sellers getting hurt because the postal service is incompetent

Valid point. I also noticed in a message I just got from ebay that they mention "new metrics" coming in 2016 using tracking information to "objectively" decide how quickly items were shipped. Sounds promising but potentially problematic

I don't like the prioritization it gives. Before I had the most common options right at the bottom of the screen, but now it's a hassle navigating around. This inspired me to give my first ever review on the App Store, that's how annoyed I am. It also hangs a lot I find, which when bidding is highly highly frustrating, more than any other feature they've added or changed.

Also really hate the "recently viewed" section being on top of the "home page". I want to immediately see which of my watched items are ending not some garbage I clicked on because it looked funny. It's bad enough that ebay sends out emails telling you things are on sale that you simply clicked on once to get a better look just in case but have zero interest in. I get enough emails and notifications about things I do want let alone crap that's never been on my watch list or a saved search

Looooooosiana!
I like the upgrade. It defaults to newly listed, so I don't have to change that every time I use it now. I didn't like the format at first, but it's fine now.

OKC, OK
BLEH, almost as aggravating as ESPN.com's redesign a few months ago. It's not bad or earth shattering, but show me where the old app was so bad it required such an overhaul. Are we changing it to be better or are we changing it just so some executives can say they did something.

The main change that I don't like, I can't find the saved searches screen where it says 'new' next to the searches that have new results, that was my main use of the app. I was able to get to the searches screen but it was a bunch of random searches that I haven't used in months.

Didn't the old version allow you to drag down to refresh search results? I run a search and leave it up to check quickly throughout the day. In order to refresh I have to go back run the search again? Drag down/refresh was pretty common app functionality years ago. I'm missing something, right?

That still works for me

Yeah my searches were all screwed up too with the newer "followed searches" format. Had to go delete a bunch of old ones. After you update your searches you'll see a blue dot next to searches that have new results

Why, for the love of god, can they not allow you to delete decline/expired offers? So annoying to have them sit there for freaking months

Been acting wonky all day today with followed searches. Each time I open the app it shows a bunch have "new listings" but when I run them it's the same stuff I've been seeing for three days. Ridiculous

Rats... I'm using Android and it definitely doesn't for me. I can drag/refresh my watched items list, but that functionality isn't there for the results of my saved searches.
