New listing tool is non-functional

[adampaulsonlinemall]

I have a huge surprise for you all! The new listing tool is non-functional AGAIN! I know it has to come as a massive surprise since it has only happened pretty much every single day since it was added. As other users are reporting the description field is not working properly. Everything goes bold, and then not bold, and then bold, and then not bold, back and forth over and over. Also text from the top of the description disappears and reappears at the bottom. But that's not all, other fields are appearing and disappearing as well, like every few seconds parts of the tool will disappear and then reappear seconds later. I've tried 3 accounts, 4 Browsers, 2 Desktops, and 3 laptops and it's the same across the board. What's sad is that this tool has never once worked, for years now, it literally doesn't work at all without some sort of DAILY glitch and the old tool never had a single glitch, at least not a single one while I was using it 8 hours a day, 5 days a week for years. What kind of company would allow one of their main tools to be so horrible for so long without fixing it? At least just bring back the old one until you can hire someone who knows what they are doing to fix it. I'll just send all the items I got in this month to Amazon FBA, what else can I do? List them on ebay??? LMMFAO!

Well that wasn't long, immediately after leaving here and going back to the main ebay, guess what I found??? Now all my photos are gone from every single draft. Just poof! all gone. About 200 photos that were already deleted because they were already uploaded and ready to list, just all freaking gone. GONE GONE GONE!  I literally hate ebay now.

I listed much of the day. Have never had a problem over the years.

MS Windows 11 with Edge.

I'm on Windows 24H2, which is the latest version with all updates currently installed and I've had nothing but issues since day one. Are you a full time seller? I only ask out of curosity because you said you've been listing all day but I don't see any items for sale on your account. It just seems like if you aren't listing for hours every single day, you're not going to even have the opportunity to experience the majority of the issues the rest of us have been begging them to fix for the two years we've had this tool. Also if you're using a third party tool then you won't experience it either but none of the third party tools offer the same features and character length the actual listing tool incorporates into the design.

Yes fulltime, on 2 venues. Fulltime for me is perhaps, 20-30 hours a week shipping and listing. Today was nearly an 8 hour day because I picked up a truckload Sunday. Have my work cut out for me now.

No 3rd party tools.

Only use the listing tool, straight up. 

Running a steady 1300 listings on eBay. This is a posting ID for the forum.

I should have added that I did see some issues in the beginning of the rollout of the new listing tool, but even then, nothing was inhibiting production or a show stopper.

I'm not even able to access the description field.  If I start a new "sell similar" listing, the entire description is missing and I'm not able to do anything in that field.  When I do a preview (on sell similar) the description is there.  This doesn't seem to be happening with Chrome, so I'm wondering if maybe it's a Firefox issue.

The description editor bold glitch has been ongoing since feb. It caused all sorts of havoc in the description like erroneous html tags and meaningless tag iterations. It drove browsers crazy trying to interpret, so all, some or none of the text would be bolded and line breaks omitted. It may be fixed now as one user reported but since this debacle I’m strictly using my own HTML from now on.
