I just noticed that my store Icon (Blue Door button) is now missing from all 7,200 of my listings too. The only time I can see it is when I am on my selling page, or looking at "See All Feedback. Why is eBay hiding our stores? So instead of a client being able to sort by specific category with my store, they get to search all items. Pretty infuriating if you ask me. I have sold 13,000 works of art on this site, $4 Million worth as of the last time I could see my totals. Can I have that back too?

eBay has redesigned the item listing layout.
Users can reach your store through your profile page or your items for sale list by clicking on your username. There is also an explicit store link in your listings below your item description.

Yet they leave the "sellers other items" at the top near your username, which people will click on to get a confusing mess of listings. I never think to scroll down to find a shop button, people are used to clicking on a blue door - why did they change it, whyyyyyy, no need!

We pay so much for our Store subscriptions, and I sorely miss the blue door. I really noticed the lack of a defined Seller Store link at the top of the listings when I was buying items myself this weekend. I can no longer browse definite, contained categories, so I like to browse stores when I find a seller I like. Sure, I can scroll all the way down to the "Visit Store" button, but how many of MY buyers know to do that?

In addition to the link to your store in each of your listings, there is also a direct link to your store located on your feedback page.

Why can't you browse categories?
Whether a seller has a store or not, using a desktop browser you should be able to use the "items for sale" link or the "seller's other items" link and see all the items the seller has to offer, with eBay categories shown on the left side along with filter options to divide items in various ways.
If the seller has a store you can use the link in the item listing or on the feedback page to reach it if you prefer to use the seller's custom store category choices.

Of those that have a strong preference for viewing store format pages, probably more than you would think.

My feelings on this have not changed.
I still want the blue door link to stores OR any other sort of higher store link on the listing pages, as a seller AND buyer.
As a seller, having a store is expensive, and sellers put in time and effort to make them as enticing as possible. As a buyer, stores are useful and a delight to browse, especially after the collapsing of the eBay categories a few years back. Would really like to see this changed. eBay Stores are quite the asset to eBay; why de-emphasize them to such an extent?

I see your store link as plain as day in your listings.

Sure...if you scroll WAY down the page my Store link is there! I think like 3 screens down. Here is what I land on for my listing Then there are all the "related listings" eBay puts there (not my items). Then there is the description (another whole screen). The Stores link is BURIED. Which is what I'm complaining about.y point.
