Android app: Link to the original product page in purchase details? What happened?

[andreyt]

Previously, when opening a detailed purchase description through "Purchases" list, I'd see a page with purchase info, which would also contain a link to the original eBay product page (i.e. to the seller's offer page). Now that link is gone.

Why???

In the current version when I go to my "Purchases" and open a specific purchase description, it is hard to figure out what was actually purchased. There's only some basic order information there (time, number, price, seller), shipping address, payment info and "contact seller" link. But there's nothing about the actual item that I bought (!)

Of course, the product title (and picture) is actually visible in the "Purchases" list itself. But when the product title is long, it gets truncated in that list, so one cannot see the entire title there. And that happens often.

Also, when Android app generates a push notification saying "Your item is being shipped" that notification also opens the same purchase details page. And it is impossible to figure out what this notification is about, since the actual product information is now missing from the purchase details page.

Why did you decide to remove it???

You are assuming the title and link was removed intentionally. More likely, the removal of the item title and associated link to the original listing from the order details screen of the app was an oversight.

Note that there is a workaround to reach the original listing. From the order details, scroll down and select "Contact seller". From the resulting screen you can tap the item title and reach a screen with a link to the original item description.

Use the "Tell us what you think" link on the order details screen to alert page developers to the missing title and link, and the missing "return item" link from the purchases screen.
