Sell similar button is still missing after days- what is going on?

[siamjane8]

Just trying to get some info from ebay - what is going on? was this an oversight or mistake ora test or by intention? It has severely limited all of our abilities to list- the sell similar or sell like item buttons under the photos of all the listings were the cornerstone of listing on ebay!  

     To be forced to go to the "beginners" listing process where the AI asks you what you are selling and all the extra steps to guess what you have is a painstaking slowdown to the listing process.

    Why is ebay forcing us to take longer to list an item again?  I hope this is just another screwup and not an actual idea that someone had!!!!

      Devon- thank you very much.  I know I have been getting insistent but without accurate feedback from ebay - we are left up to our own imaginations.

I am seeing the button back now this evening but the whole page has reverted back to the older listing view page design as well- as if they just rolled it all back to give themselves more time to fix the new version.

I am fine with that of course- function over looks every day of the week is more important.

@siamjane8 I don't believe this had anything to do with the new View Item page design testing.

I still have the test view in one browser - while the button was missing, it was missing in both the old and new views and now that the button is back, it is back in both the old and new views, for me.

Just took this screenshot right now of the new view and you can see the button is back there too.

@valueaddedresource  Devon at ebay responded yesterday saying that the team told him it was not intentional and they were working on a fix...looks like they got it!  This morning my listing view page is the newer style with larger picture and the sell and item like this button is back!

   While i am glad they fixed it- i wish we did not have to go through this mess every time they make a small change.  Even if there is an issue- a simple response within the first couple of days would have put it all to rest instead of ignoring us for 3 weeks.  Either way i am glad it is back as i am sure many many other sellers are
