eBay Removed a Perfectly Good Feature This Afternoon

This apparently happened previously to other users in the last two weeks.  It has now happened to me.  eBay has removed the feed page.  The URL www.eBay.com/feed now redirects to the My eBay saved searches page, which is not the same.  This is a dealbreaker for me. 

I'm not being dramatic.  If eBay doesn't give me my feed page back, then I will be buying less from eBay.  This is just a fact.  I've already submitted a complaint, and I'm posting this here in hopes that this will help bring attention to what they've done.

It probably won't do any good, but there's always a chance that eBay will figure out that there was no need to remove a perfectly good working feature.  If you use eBay's feed, please submit a complaint via the saved searches page that eBay now lands you on.  There should be a place to give your opinion somewhere on that page.  It shows in the upper right on the web version of eBay.

The eBay saved searches page doesn't place all newly listed items up on top as the feed page did.  The saved searches page mixes up the recent listings with ones from up to at least two weeks ago.  That's not what I want to see!  I can't use the saved searches page.  It's awful!

To make this easy, if you need the feed page back, please fill this form out.  It's the link from the saved searches page, which is now the landing page for the removed eBay feed.  Thanks!

It's pretty clear that they're making us use a new feature that we don't want.  I want my eBay feed back!
