I just spent 30 minutes writing my text for a listing in the app. Then when going back to revise, I managed to unwittingly (through some unnoticeable flick of my finger I assume) lost two-thirds of my painstakingly written (on the fly and therefore unreproducible) description, critical for me to sell my item.
It was ONLY very aggravating when messages written between other sellers and myself were annihilated, but now it's directly interfering in my ability to do business on the platform.
It is absolutely unacceptable and extremely angering.
So I feel your pain! But don't worry, we can just go submit a politely worded email to ebay and they'll certainly have it shorn up in no time, right?
Oh no wait, they literally have a "no submissions policy", which is one of the bigger WTFs I've been afflicted with in a long time. Just awful, so mind-blowingly anti-consumer I immediately deleted the app.
I wish I did not have to do that, but at least I could probably recover text written in another application. I think I'm going to have to literally write stuff in another app or Google docs, then copy paste it into the browser website, like it looks like you've been doing.
This is ridiculous. Workarounds are by definition inferior to properly designed and implemented code.
Humans have been writing mobile apps for quite a few years now, so I think enough that any rich Western company like eBay should be able to afford to produce a fully functional and not-painfully-inadequate app for their customers.
Otherwise, what would be the point of having an app, if people like me are quickly deleting it from their devices?
I'm still so enraged.
eBay as a company is both vile and pathetic, and we should expect to only see them degrading in quality and conscience as time goes on.
Thanks capitalism.
