The Brand New SYI form boondoggle, it wasn't broke, so they fixed it up.

It's not spelled that way, but this is a family friendly page.

Yesterday, if I had an option selected--say a shipping policy, it stayed selected. Today I have the privilege of selecting it over and over and over and over again, somehow saving me time. 

Yesterday, to select a store category, I could type the first letter the list would jump to that area. Today I have the privilege of scrolling and scrolling and scrolling and scrolling to find what I want. Twice. 

Yesterday, to copy a name from, say Goodreads to the Title of my item I could drag and drop. Today, I have the privilige of returning to 1989 when drag and drop did not exist. 

Yesterday, if I was using an existing item to template my copy of the book and I wanted to change the order of the author and title to my preferred presentation, I could highlight, drag and drop from within the title field. Today, I have the privilege of retunring to 1989, when drag and drop did not exist. 

Yesterday, when I had to select from a huge menu of options describing stuff ebay seemed to think was important to their buyers, like if English was the language a book whose title was in English, I could type a single letter or two and the field would jump to that choice. Today, I have the distinct privilige of scrolling and scrolling and scrolling and scrolling if they don't offer it up in a balloon to check.

Yesterday, when I wanted to format my description I pushed a button and chose my formatting. Today I have to convince the gremlins behind the SYI form I really, really want to make my description more understandable by using common and proper English style formatting; and then they don't let me have half of what I used to have like indentation for a quoted paragraph or two. 

This is more than just I hate change--which I do. This is ridiculous and there is no option back to the old way of doing things.


eBay traffic is down 25+% over last year, and they waste their time on this crap?

A conspiracy theory: Perhaps someone is profiting from the additional carpal tunnel claims due to the additional excessive scrolling and clicking?

Hi, I'm from eBay and I'm here to help. Hmm, maybe eLon could buy it and shed the deadwood. Happy Holidays All:)
