Is the font size smaller than it was last week? It seems that all of a sudden, I can barely see the words..not to mention the auction numbers. The resolution on my PC is already as low as it can go, but even with my glasses, I'm having trouble seeing Ebay. Am I the only one who has noticed this? Maybe it's my PC?

Maybeyou accidently changed the way you are viewing fonts. On your toolbar, click on "View", then select "Text Zoom" (in XP--earlier versions, I think, say "text size". Then see if you are set on "smallest" or "smaller"--if you are, choose "medium" or "large".

It's funny you should bring this subject up. I've never clicked on view, then the text size, but on occasion the font size in My eBay is so large I think eBay might be telling me something - like you need new glasses. Thanks for pointing out where the font size can be changed. My eBay is now back to normal and I don't feel so blind anymore.

There is an easier way to change your font size. If you have a wheel on your mouse, hold the Ctrl key down and rotate the wheel. You’ll see the font size increase or decrease. This is easy to do by accident.

Annekila: Right after I read your new post here, I was printing some finished auctions and noticed that two or three of them were teeny print. Not all, just some. It was odd.

I want to thank all those who helped me. I was so glad to find out that Ebay didn't change their font size! I was VERY suprised to see how easy it is to change it. I like the wheel-control way..SO easy. I have windows XP and was able to do it that way. I don't know WHY the fonts just changed on my PC..just a freak happening.

No, I'm using Netscape. And that seems to be why. I just opened up Explorer (which I haven't used for months) and tried it. Voila! It worked.
It's cool, but not enough to make me go back to using IE

I have XP--would that make a difference?
