Lot of technical issues

[scrane2006]

Just reading through this forum seeing a lot of technical issues, why doesn't eBay fix these problems, right now in sellers hub the Manage scheduled listings have not been working for two weeks or better, I look through sellers listing and they are duplicating the items they have listed making it look like they have more then one for sale when they don't. Just keep making new programs and don't worry about what doesn't work, most be eBay's mission.

I have a very simple answer.  The programing language that ebay was created is more than 20 years old.  It might be millions lines of code.  To upgrade it with out any issues, and to have ebay doing millions of transactions per day, is just not possible.

CEO's, don't care about upgrading the code.  They just care about making money.  And making more money.  Either adapt or perish trying to sale on ebay, or move your business some where else. 

Good luck on your selling journey.

I've been selling on eBay for almost 22 years and have watched and participated while the site has grown, expanded,  gotten more involved,   complicated,    whatever you want to call it.  

Millions of sellers,    Unknown number of buyers, lookers,   tire kickers,  observers,     Billions of listings.

IMO eBay has simply gotten too big.     They continue to add new gimmicks.    Some good and some not so good.    More details.    More distractions.    More complications.     More to do,    More to do.

As sellers.    Do we ever really think about how complicated the programming must be to run this joint?    

I'm staggered sometimes by the number of things that actually work.    And never surprised when something fails to work.

I believe that eBAy does not fix the bugs because the bugs come too fast for them to keep up.

While with todays technology there should be no excuse for programs not to work right, that's just a cop out, past the buck, no wonder new technology is junk, instead of changing programs stick to the ones that work and maintain them. Either do it right or find a different career.
