Am I the only one who finds this new format annoying? Seeing feedback ratings on the mainpage is almost entirely useless and it is distracting.

Actually sent eBay some unsolicited opinions on the subject. I doubt they'll listen but there's hope.

Any chance of a link?

No chance of a link from me.  The format change appears and disappears at random.  One night it will be the new (harder to read) format and the next night it will be the old one.  Strange.

A minor irritation, to say the least.  One that pales in comparison to, say, things like war in the Middle East, the plummeting stock market, and the expanding U.S. budget deficit.  

But thanks for pointing it out.  It had completely escaped my notice.

Wait!  You left out the crucial story of where to bury a dead stripper!

Actually, I'd forgotten that you can bypass My eBay altogether. Probably the quickest way to do this is:

1. Do a search for anything (provided it brings in at least one non-Stores result);

2. In the upper-right area, click "customize display."

3. A number of options (with checkboxes) are presented, including "display feedback information."

I'm guessing that either eBay recently changed the default on this to "on" or else is switching back and forth in some form of users survey. I probably didn't notice because I've actually had the box checked for some time now.
