UI Design - No back buttons?

I had taken a hiatus from Ebay for a time. Coming back, I'm surprised at how bad some of the UI has gotten. I'm not sure if this is the best place to leave site feedback, but the lack of "return to menu" buttons is disappointing. I have to click like 3 different menu items to get back to where I was before the action was taken when I do things like change my "ship from" address or print a shipping label. It's simply not good design.

UI Design - No back buttons?

Which app (or browser) are you using?

 

Back buttons are generally part of the operating system (or browser if you are on a computer). On most android phones, the back button is one of three software buttons that are almost always located at the bottom of the screen; if they are hidden, they can usually be restored by swiping up from the bottom of the screen.

On a computer, the back button is usually located in the browser's address bar if it is visible, though it can be moved. There is often a keyboard shortcut (Alt & "left arrow", or Alt & backspace on a PC) if you can't find the button and don't want to reset your browser. Using the back button can often be avoided by opening links in a new tab (by right-clicking on a link); when done, closing the tab leaves you back where you left off without having to reload the page (handy if the page loads slowly or if you are in the middle of a long list).
