Have a look at an item on ebay - any item it doesn't matter what.

Does the page have a new look/new layout etc?

Its just that DP is on ebay on the other laptop and was muttering about not liking the new layout. I had a look at ebay on this laptop and its still the old layout, no changes

I don't understand.

So can you see the new layout? If so, why can't I?

DPs screen is definitely -theres a countdown to the end of each auction, new typefaces etc

No its co.uk, the REAL ebay.

However we've just noticed that above the photo and details there is a bit saying something along the lines of "We're working on making ebay easier to use" and theres also an option to click back to the "old style" layout.

Its not on mine though.

Maybe they just test it out on random members?

ah, but do you have it on your favourites?

Maybe clear your temp files and cookies and then google ebay and click from their link and see.

We both have it on our favourites on both computers.

I've just switched user on here and looked at ebay on DPs account/user name and its the old style.

probably because ebay are updating their style sheets which your PC stores as local files so it doesn't have to keep going back to the server so things run quicker. Could go into internet settings and delete temp files and cookies to force a download of the new style sheets, but bewear if you use any remembered passwords as you might lose them. You parners PC might have internet settings set to update web pages on every time he visits a site, and your PC might be set to update occasionally - or never. Hope that is clearer than mud!
