I just been on the wife's eBay.co.uk on firefox and her's is the old layout. Mine is some sort or annoying thing that is very complex and missing lots of features like selecting view buy now only etc...

is there any way i can revert back to the older layout ?

You got opted in to the new search, which most people hate. Check the links below to find a way to revert to the old search.

As I remember you have to delete all your cookies then go to http://www.ebay.co.uk/ and somehow the slash at the end is important.

Go to http://shop.ebay.co.uk/ and click the 'Opt Out' link.

I don;t so much dislike the new search as such, I don't like the fact it shrinks to a column in the middle of the screen. Why bother with a 22" high res screen if I am only going to use a bit in the middle?

Oh god this happened to me too, I hate it! What was wrong with how it used to be? I also have a widescreen monitor and the search results just look stupid now.

I suspect that the blank space that the new search frees up will be sold by eBay to advertisers. There's no other logical reason for it.
