CEX's new website...

Posted 25th Oct 2023

...is absolutely horrendous. What an absolute turd. Whoever is in charge of UX and UI needs to be sacked. How on earth that got signed off, I have no idea.

Instead of being able to see on one page how much they sell / buy for, it's just a confusing mess.

The original one was pretty useless

It was very 00's-esque but at least it had some decent functions. The new search bar doesn't show any product prices at all. Previously you used to be able to type a product and it show you the buy price and sell for cash/voucher price. Now nothing, just text.

Yeah it is absolutely horrible, even when I check specific categories there are items missing. The search doesn’t locate items, you have to use Google to find certain games/accessories. You have to go through numerous additional clicks to get anywhere. I honestly don’t think I could ever eventually get used to this rubbish lol.

The previous website was poor, but it was 10x better than this pile of

You are on the buy section. Toggle to the sell section and to be honest, having just searched for various things I want to sell I think it is a vast improvement then before. (edited)

Just tried it out, searched for something to sell, first result is what I searched, it told me the price.

If it does all that just fine I couldn't care what it looks like.

In fairness, it seems to have fixed my biggest issue with the site, which was the way it tried to search anew and half-heartedly reload the page with every extra key entered into the search box. Seems a lot better in that regard, although it still seems pretty iffy in others. Like, why are PC monitors listed under Electronics, not Computing? And who thought it would be a good idea for items to turn squint when you mouseover them, instead of highlighting the normal way?

It seems to be the current trend. A lot of sites are overly cumbersome and don't work correctly. Especially when searching. Like Amazon showing things not related to what you search for. It's was bad before.
