Okay, I can see Amy's page, my page and your page, Cranky.

Can you see any of them now?
I see yours now Bell but it is the old style no um pic.  :-\
oK the pic is on your ME page  8)
I am seeing all of them exactly as they are supposed to be. I think you all have screwy browser settings or something!
I'm not touching the new page.

The more everyone fiddles with them, the more eBay ranks the "traffic." Even if it's to create a parody, they're still counting the hits as positive.

You're probably right. But, then you'll miss all the fun. We are using our pages to express our feelings towards ebay. Amy's is hilarious!! Happy001
I'm with thentavius.
I'm not touching it.

I put an invisible counter (not from Andel either)
on my me page once for several months a couple of years ago.
The count was very low and ebay KNOWS the counts are low on all the fluff too.

This whole round or ridiculous BS they have been coming out with is nothing but
one big distraction after another in hopes to keep at least some people on the sinking ship to keep picking their pockets just one more quarter.

Just like the Titanic.

Remember they had the band playing as the ship was lisping?

I disagree with you Xp. I think they are testing the MyWorld pages as replacements for Me pages. On the MW pages , you are not allowed to use any html, etc.
It seems to me that they have two motivations going on here:

1)They are simply looking to plug holes.

2)They are hoping to benefit from the popularity of MYSpace.

JMHO.

Quote:Your My World page is intended to allow you to showcase your feedback, your listings, your personality, and your content on eBay.

Um that is WHAT the Me page is supposed to do.

If eBay SAY's they aren't doing something,
you can bet that is exactly what they intend.
I'm with others on this.
It WILL replace the ME page so as to further RESTRICT FREE trade that
currently (at least) allows us to link to
our sites via the Me page according to policy.

I'd bet REAL $$$ on this one.

I agree Bell See my Reply #53 from Today... OK here it is again above.

But all this stuff obviously has mutiple reasons behind it.

The link to my website on my about me page is the only thing I find useful on eBay.
