Anyone Else Now Having Problems With Ebay???

Is anyone else now experiencing problems with Ebay since they did their
most recent update?? Ebay did an update on Tuesday and upgraded the
"Item Page", to add Bright Blue buttons for the "Bid" or "Buy It Now".
When I use to go to Ebay and look at the item, there would be a GRAY box
for either "Bid" or "Buy It Now". But now when I go there, there is NO
BOX what-so-ever!!! I can only see the words, and there is nothing to
click. It either says "Place A Bid>" or "Buy It Now>" and there is
nothing to click. The words "Place A Bid" and "But It Now" always this
symbol ">" at the end of them.

So I can view the item and read the description, I just can't "Place A
Bid" or "Buy It Now", because there is no box or button to click. Ebay
has ugraded, and Webtv has let us down, or at least me, down again. I
like Webtv, but it looks like it might be time to get a computer?? I
love shopping on Ebay for the cheap prices, but it now looks like my
Ebay shopping days are now officially over!?

I am on a Webtv Classic, so are there any other Classic users having
this same problem??

Here is what was posted on the Ebay "Announcement Board" regarding the
recent upgrade:

Hi everyone, I'm Subha Shetty with eBay's Buyer Experience team. In the
next week, we're making a few small changes that we think will make the
item page (the page that displays a listing), a bit easier to use.

The changes include:

An additional "Watch this item" button ? Millions of items are added
to buyers' Watch lists every day! We're keeping the existing link where
it is in the top section of the page, but, as a convenience to buyers,
we're adding a new button which will be placed at the bottom of the
page. Now they won't have to scroll all the way back to the top after
they've reviewed the important details of the listing.

Bright Blue buttons for Bid, Buy It Now, and Best Offer ? The
eye-catching color will make these important features stand out a little
more.
Minor layout changes ? We've cleaned up the bottom of the item page a
bit to make information such as the shipping details, payment methods,
and return policies easier to read.

Sincerely,

Subha Shetty
Product Manager, Buyer Experience Team
