I think the new layout is perfectly fine -- pretty
much the same info as the old layout, just a
different style.

I also like the fact that it boldly tells you at
the top whether you're winning or losing the
auction -- as the other poster pointed out, this
is great for newbies.  And eBay has plenty of
newbies, more all the time.  Since my folks were
talking about starting some auctions, I'd say the
simpler and easier eBay can make it for them to
find the info they need, the better.

More to the point, though, and I apologize to Yann
for going off-topic here... I just have to say
that I'm getting frustrated with your constant
negativism on this forum.  It doesn't seem to
matter what the topic, you have something bad to
say about it.

We make our own choices in this life as to whether
we will be happy people or depressed, angry
people.    Even if things don't turn out the way
you want them to, you have the power to cope and
say, "ah, well, maybe next time will be better". 
If life is really frustrating you, do something
about it.  Learn a new skill, work towards a
future dream career, take some long walks, join a
support group... whatever it takes.  But raining
complaints by the truckload onto a forum of
strangers who'd rather be talking about anime cels
is not the way to go.  All this does is take a
group of people who might otherwise have accepted
you as a friend and make them dread your every post.

There isn't a person here who has a perfect life.
 Some of us even less so than others.  And
breaking down once in a while is not just
understandable, it's absolutely human.  But if
your own goal is to just wallow constantly in how
much you hate everything, please do everyone here
a favor and find another outlet for it than us.

Because I for one am really, really tired of it.
