It has been terrible. Been going on for us for over a week now. I had a $200 dress sell for $25, that's how I found out the glitch was happening. Every time you use sell similar, you have to go back to the item and make sure now that the price is actually correct, which right now 99% of the time it isn't. And this person opening this thread is correct, you sometimes have to edit the listing 2 or 3 times before it will finally register and take.
Which goes without saying, this takes a ton of time. I'm accustomed to having to list 30 or 40 items daily to keep up with replacing and gaining on our inventory with daily sales, and this has slowed my speed to a grinding halt.
With every new website change, every update, every new IOS update, every new format change to this page or that, every new anything this website does, it brings more and more of these types of problems with it. They've been growing noticeably in the last few years especially. I used to never want to have to pick up the phone over minor issues, these days I have to call more and more frequently. I'm not even talking about how people complain about ebay getting a bigger piece of the pie and getting more expensive - that's a whole separate issue/group of concerns. I'm simply saying that as of right now, there are so many physically limiting bugs/glitches/issues that directly affect the functionality of the website that it is incredibly concerning, especially to anyone depending on ebay at all for their career.
The troubling thing is this - I built our ebay store, now with an inventory of closing in on 10,000 listings. I built it with an eye for a permanent future, to keep growing and building. These days - I'm still currently OK with things because the money is still good. However - I'm scared out of my boots. Every morning I know my family depends on this as my career, and I just don't trust anymore at all with any confidence that in 5-10 years things will get any better. It's like being part of a bad baseball team that the fanbase is aware that the ownership has lost interest.
I've been slowly but surely beginning the long drawn out process of diverting my listings away from here and onto other websites, and possibly with the idea of opening a physical store, mostly not because money's bad - just because I feel like more than ever I need to start being not so ebay reliant anymore or else one day this is going to bite HARD.
