eBay Should Resolve to Slim Down
Yes, half the world has the luxury of decent internet connectivity. However, there are still plenty of us rural users still using 1990's technology to connect with the world now in 2006. It's really quite ridiculous, but that's another rant. Either way, I am of the firm opinion that more bandwidth does not mean sites should have more bloat to compensate. I still prefer lightweight sites. The best sites load on dialup in seconds and instantly on a broadband connection. eBay fails greatly in this respect as one of the slowest sites I have used. Some times it is great; other times abysmal. I just lost another auction for my Grandmother a few minutes ago, and it is quite irksome. I waited until there was exactly one minute left and clicked "Submit Bid" leaving plenty of time for the confirmation page to load. It turns out the confirmation page took nearly that entire minute to load, but the auction hadn't ended yet. I clicked to confirm immediately as the button appeared, but alas the auction ended (and probably just one or two seconds before my request was received)
