New/Old eBay webseite version

Note: eBay is showing you sometimes the old design/website.

The old webseite/design is not supported anymore.
If you see urls like this:

https://www.ebay.de/sch/Notebooks-Netbooks/175672/i.html?_ftrt=901&_fosrp=1&_sadis=10&_dmd=1&_ipg=50&LH_SALE_CURRENCY=0&_ftrv=1&_from=R40&LH_ItemCondition=3000&_mPrRngCbx=1&_udlo=&_udhi=500&_nkw=%28amd%2C+ryzen%29+%284000%2C+4500u%2C+4700u%29&LH_PrefLoc=1&_sop=10

they are not working.

The same search with the new design looks like this:

https://www.ebay.de/sch/177/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=%28amd%2C+ryzen%29+%284000%2C+4500u%2C+4700u%29&LH_TitleDesc=0&LH_PrefLoc=1&LH_ItemCondition=4&_udhi=500&_sop=10
