has anyone noticed that eBay's website interface sucks and gets slower and slower as they "upgrade" the interface. I don't know what kind of non-standard or strange way they code their site, but all my browsers suck at rendering them fast. Maybe it's just their slow connection, as it's not my connection for sure. It's not my browsers either, unless their site works best with WinIE. :-(

Oh well. In the mean time, does anyone know any good used motorcycle auction sites besides ebay?

Thanks!

It's definitely gotten slower over time, and has always neglected the greatest Mac compatibility (especially in their "tools" software area) since Day 1; however, it's functional for normal use with a little patience...

The main slowdown is keeping track of all the "You just looked at" areas, and the oodles of JavaScript they use for tracking. It used to be pretty fast.
