Title: Change to Ebay?
Post by: Varche on 25 July 2013, 12:58:47

I have just opened up Ebay uk and the first page is a montage of "things" I might be interested in based on my browsing/purchase history. Never had that before.

 Amazing amount of stuff to do with Omegas including ABS ECU's (haven't looked at buying one for maybe five years now). Shows what history Internet companies have about their users. Big Brother just around the corner...............

Been like that for a while now.. it's terrible - keeps showing me expensive bits of lathe and table mill.. this does not help my compulsive spending!

Infuriating web site from the outset IMO. It can only get worse the more they cock about with it.
