Developer: GET RID OF THE OBNOXIOUS SORT/FILTER BUTTON

The ebay app must have updated on my phone tonight 7/6/20. Many of the Sort/Filter menus are different, and your addition of the absolutely ANNOYING giant blue sort/filter button that pops up from the bottom when searching is HORRIBLE. NOT NEEDED! I swear you guys change things just to change things. Please stop making unnecessary changes. GET RID OF THE BUTTON. It is so distracting and pointless when searching listings. Wow.

If you are in the ebay app this an be turned off by doing the following.

 

1. tap filter

2. tap customize

3. tap Hide Sort & Filter button

 

If you are on the mobile website there is no way to hides this. If you are on the mobile website and are not a fan of this button let us know and we will send that feedback to our search designers.

Re: Developer: GET RID OF THE OBNOXIOUS SORT/FILTER BUTTON

Is that an actual solution or your idea of funny?  Please provide a way to hide the sort/filter button, so it doesn’t float in the middle of the screen.

Re: Developer: GET RID OF THE OBNOXIOUS SORT/FILTER BUTTON

If you are using the eBay app, try clicking "Filter" side of the blue button (or the Filter menu at the top of the search results).

 

If you scroll all the way down through the Filter options you should see "Customize" at the bottom of the list. Select that. You should have an option to hide the Sort / Filter button that appears at the bottom of your search results.

Oh please help me get rid of this thing!!! I can't use ebay on my phone until you guys get this STUPID blue button off my screen. And perhaps fire the person who thought this was a good idea!

Re: Developer: GET RID OF THE OBNOXIOUS SORT/FILTER BUTTON

THERE IS NO CUSTOMIZE OPTION. VIEW IS AT THE BOTTOM. THAT IS IT. DOES NOT HELP. ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS?

I agree this is beyond distracting and unnecessary. Please get rid of it or will be forced to close account.

Or please tell us how to get rid of it.

Re: Developer: GET RID OF THE OBNOXIOUS SORT/FILTER BUTTON

No. You can't scroll lower than view. DOES NOT EXIST. Not helping. You can only hit Filter and scroll down to View. There is no ability to scroll lower. No Customize can be seen or reached.

Please share a screen shot of your filter panel open so we can look into why this is happening. Please let us know what version of the app you have installed and if you are on an iPhone or iPad.
