As of last night’s upgrade, My eBay no longer displays properly on my iPad Pro 12.9 (2nd gen, running iPadOS 14.6). Instead of displaying the various My eBay options as a left side bar (and using the rest of the screen to display them, with Watching as the default), the options now take up the entire screen (as does each subsequent selection), resulting in an added step to get from one section to another (eg having to click a back arrow in the upper left corner to get from Watching to Saved). This might be a necessary approach for a tiny phone screen, but not for an iPad; it’s inefficient, never mind visually unappealing. Presumably, it’s a simple fix to identify whether the app is running on iPadOS or iOS (as in past versions).

Dumbest move yet, eBay! Who dreams up garbage like this? Why move forward with a change like this when it does nothing but force more user interaction? As stated by OP, fine for small phones but ridiculous for a tablet. You’re making it easier for users to dump the app & just use the browser. Not much of value added changes for about a year now - nothing but dumb stuff like this. Do you have teenagers coming up with these brilliant ideas?

The feedback was obviously not listened to as my app has just “updated” / regressed to this state. Dreadful move if deliberate!!
