Question
What in the world is the point of this?!
I used to have my current auctions bookmarked as Text-Only because I did not need to load all those gallery thumbnails all the time. And the Text-Only page is much cleaner, no extraneous graphics crap, you can see the bidders to notice multiples, etc.
About a week ago, my bookmarked links were sending me to eBay login page. I figured it was a glitch, and changed my bookmarks to the regular view until they got whatever it was worked out.
Checked again today and am still getting the login page
This is not a Completed Auctions search, it is a Current Items. Just Text View. Can anyone determine a rhyme or reason for this change?
Answer
I use the text-only page, too, for the reasons you mention. I have been having to sign in to see it these last three days.
My money is on YAG. (Yet Another Glitch.)

Well I'm glad it's not just me - thanks fLufF!
Betcha they're messing with search again (like it isn't convoluted and bizarre enough as it is).
Answer
I've always used the text-only page and for the same reasons you mentioned and one other reason. Many times newly listed items will show up on the text-only page long before they show up on the other view.
It's been several days since I first noticed the log-in situation.
