The new layout is terrible and not functional, the old layout was just fine and didn't need fixing. Please bring back the way that has worked for so long, this is frustrating!
I am writing to voice my displeasure with the "list view" change that has been made to the seller sites. Please change it back a spread of items that I and everyone else is used to enjoying. Or at least give us an option for list view or full view.
Thank you,
Tim Majka

I agree… the new layout is terrible!

I find it hard to believe anyone prefers the new layout. Any other major auction platform has multiple customizable options for viewing the page. With the two sidebars that can’t be minimized, I can see two listings at one time on my screen without scrolling. Two!
The only way I use this site is to bid at auction, all from a single store. I take a single seller, say Infinity Comics, and look through all their auction items in order, ending soonest. That’s 3000 listings in the next week. Please give me a grid with 96 listings a page so this is actually doable (or 200, or 1000…why limit us?). The sidebars are irrelevant to me. Also, when viewing a single listing, the left sidebar forces the “bid” button off the page and I have to scroll over to bid. Mildly annoying but it’s always been like that as far as I know.
I usually bid every day and create a pile to save on shipping. I browsed last night for a bit and got annoyed, paid my tab and called it a day. I’ll come back in a few weeks and see if any changes were made.

I will no longer be using HipComic if this is a permanent unusable layout, scrolling back and forth to catch up with bidding is not user friendly

Absolutely agree as well. The old layout was perfect for quick browsing. As a long time member, please at least allow the option to revert to the old view. AND… as a seasoned collector, the analytics and comparisons on every comic are literally over the top. Let’s make it more lucrative for every non-collector and uneducated person to jump into an auction unprepared and make a knee jerk purchase based on canned analytics done for them… so much for those of us that know our books and work through these auctions based on actual knowledge. Let’s turn comic collecting into Pokemon cards…. (joke - please DON’T).

Agreed. We lost the 96-per-page option, and it now requires significantly more scrolling to navigate through each page. Spreading the details across the current page also reduces readability, so it takes nearly twice as long to go through the listings. If reverting isn’t an option, I’d like to see a grid approach, similar to Midtown Comics, that loads the page with key details and allows me to view 150 comics on a page at a time. Should be doable!

PAGE VIEW CHANGES ARE TERRIBLE
Hello,
I am writing to voice my displeasure with the "list view" change that has been made to the seller sites. Please change it back a spread of items that I and everyone else is used to enjoying. Or at least give us an option for list view or full view.
