New REA web page/format - Like it? Don't like it?

I could take it or leave it. On the plus side, the functionality seems a bit better, I can turn off emails that come each time I make a bid or when my bids get topped, which is a lot of emails if you're bidding on a large number of items.

On the negative side I find it is more difficult to increase bids than it was on the old system which now consumes a significant amount of time. My biggest pet peeve however still has not been fixed, that's the length of the decription that is shown on the thumbnail images. If looking at T206's, the description length allowed in many circumstances isn't long enough to see what reverse the card has. In many cases I have to go into the detailed description of the card to determine what advertising back they have. This is an enormous pain in the ass when you're looking at 500 cards. In my opinion it hurts the final sales price of those cards thatfall later alphabetically as I just give up looking after awhile. I'm guessing others do also.

I much preferred the UI of the old version of the site.

Being heavily discussed in the thread below. REA's Brian Dwyer has even chimed in with comments and requests for feedback.

Rather annoying that every time my autobid was raised, I received an email noting that I was OUTBID. When in fact I still had the high bid.

This is the one thing that annoys me the most about the new site. The rest of it is alright. I liked the UI of the old site more but I think Ill get used to this one. On the whole I still think its a great site and the auction was still fantastic.

I think overall the new format is fine. As some else mentioned getting the �outbid� message when I wasn�t really outbid is something that I hope they fix.
