Based on my own experience with GameStop, that will convince me to stop using eBay completely.

I'd be sad because eBay works great (even if their software is old and would need a complete rewrite).

Why does it need a rewrite if it works great?

Because it works great as a platform, and because I've been using it for 20 years.

But for a new user, it looks completely messy, with pages that are vastly different from each other and many sections that look exactly as they were in the early 2000's.

I'm not sure 'it looks like it did in 2000' is worth tearing it all down, starting over, and introducing new bugs. Sometimes things just work. Ebay is very functional for a huge amount of commerce. It loads reasonably quickly and is reasonably easy to navigate.

So does craigslist and I don't think I've ever heard people complain about it. Not everything needs to be a PWA, let websites be websites

You're saying your experience with GS is even worse than with eBay, right? How can it be?
