This is infuriating! I spend plenty of money on eBay. I don't need their suggested or sponsored listings. I just need to be able to search and browse in a conventional, linear way. These constant changes are going to end with me spending less, rather than more on eBay's platform.

I remember when you could just call the seller and chat. Send a check etc. It's only going to get worse - if that's possible.

I only send offers to Watchers, not Views, and only if i have wiggle room in the price. I wish there was a way to clear the list of those i will not send. Instead, they remain in my Tasks. There could be a "Do not remind me again" box, like in Item Specifics.
