I've put my search emails on hold as they have also
turned to junk for me, I use a text email but it still
converts HTML to text for me and I'm now ending
up with something that requires a lot of work.

I think positive, it's saving me a lot of money as
I no longer feel I have to buy things I really done
want or need :)

Apparently we should all be using HTML with
javascript/otherscripting enabled on malware prone
platforms. ==> so no, it is not a positive step forward.

Complain on the forums, feedback matters, sometimes
it even gets a result.

At the bottom of an ebay page, click on Community,
click on Discussion Boards, look for "Recent eBay News",
start a new thread, or join an existing thread.

Cheers
