A couple non-intuiative o rmissing items:
Click on Sell in the top menu bar (next to My Ebay) it takes you the Active Listings page. This should either be titled My Listings or should link to pages to sell an item.
Clicking My Ebay takes me to a summary page, not the Seller Hub Overview. On some pages there's a link that says "click here to make this the My Ebay default page" (or something similar). The Overview page doesn't have this link.
Sales summary box, really needs a Current Month, drop the 90 days and put Current Month. It's stupid to have to click on Orders and then set the drop down to Current Month. (I did put that link in a shortcut, but I shouldn't have to).
Thanks for your feedback. There is a way to set your My eBay link to point to Seller Hub Overview. I will get back to you shortly after the chat is over with the details.

Hello friends,
When creating a listing using SELLER HUB, what does the item specific "Bundle Listing?" mean and when should sellers use it?
Thanks,
David (DJ)

Business sellers are determined by their registration status or a specific number of sales. Seller Hub is also for sellers who have a store or were previously using Selling Manager or Selling Manager Pro. Consumer sellers would be those who have smaller sales, not registered as a business, or not subscribed to a store, selling manager, or selling manager pro. Thanks.@sandyoutlet: I see here that you answered my question about "business seller" vs. "consumer seller" for someone else while I was writing mine; sorry about the overlap there.
While I'm enjoying some success in selling on eBay, I am very definitely in the "consumer seller" category, and your wording suggests that if I opted out of Seller Hub, I could return to the old My eBay page as a permanent choice. Is that correct?
In other words, is My eBay on the way out, or will it remain as an option for anyone who's just selling in small quantities and wants all their information in one place?
If you are not using Selling Manager, Selling Manager Pro, or have an eBay store... and you qualify as a consumer seller, you should be able to continue to use My eBay. There aren't plans right now to discontinue My eBay. Selling Manager and Selling Manager Pro may not be supported in the future. Thanks.

Thanks for your question. We've recently added a download button to the "Orders" tab in Seller Hub. We're looking to also add that to the "Performance" tab next year. For IRS purposes, you may want to use PayPal data as that will show the money movement. Thanks.
Well, when I tried the download, sent me to file management center and when I downloaded the 1 month file it was in chinese/japanese or something unreadable.........all I want is the selling price, the shipping charged to the buyer and the shipping I actually paid on one stinking page........I guess it's just too much to ask.

Why can I nolonger clear the under performing suggestions? Also why even have it when you use analyze and all we get are we could not find another listing to compare or it was a sale of my own listings.

Store category totals are being proposed for our updates next year!
NEXT YEAR?!?
You took away a valuable feature, and are thinking of maybe, possibly, unless something seems more important, restoring it next year?

If you hover over your name in the top left corner of an eBay page (above the eBay logo), you can click on "account settings". From there, click on "personal information" in the left navigation. Then, you'll see "account type" will either say individual or business. Thanks.

Thank you,
I am not happy with cloud storage.
I would be more comfortable storing data on my own hard drive.
If it is just me griping then..........

Yes the items that are offered up for Analysis when no Analysis is available...isn't useful

On the Orders page when you select Orders paid and shipped. Once an item is delivered it will show Delivered on: <date> UNLESS you have done a partial refund (ie refund on shipping because it cost less). Then all you see is "partially refunded" in place of the shipping status. To me I would rather have the shipping status always appear. Don't really need to be reminded forever that I issued a partial refund. Also I leave feedback a few days after the item was delivered, so for those that don't show the shipping status I have to open the tracking to see.
Thanks for the feedback. We'll consider that update for a future release.

What is link text? Where is it? What is the URL? How am I supposed to find these things and successfully use them to customize my ebay page?
Can you clarify where you're seeing the message for link text or send a screenshot?
Link text is the title you want to appear in the shortcuts ie "Current Month Sales" if you want a shortcut to the orders page with current month sales showing. To get the URL, before you add the shortcut, naviagate to the page you want to display, copy the URL in the header of your browser to the clipboard. Go back to the Overview and click the customize icon for Shortcuts. Paste the URL into the URL box, add your title and click "Add" then "I'm Done".

Mine says Individual but I was still dumped into Seller Hub. Was it because I happen to prefer Selling Manager format over My Ebay format?

That option allows you to add a short cut to a page that appear directly in that module. Link text is what you want the link name to be and link URL is the URL to the destination page you want to show up in that module.
