eBay current listing manager..slow with all browsers and information dissapears.

[brattyangel9494]

When I start a new listing using my pre-filled draft on eBay...my problem I use Firefox and just about every line a message window pops up "The page is slowing down Firefox. To speed up your browser stop this page." When I wait for Firefox to catch up I wait for a minute or two. If I stop the page than I have to start over. Then every step the same thing. I get that message at least 5 times when list a new item. The prior listing manager I used to post my listing in about 1 1/2 to 3 minutes maximum, no problems, no issues. Now each listing takes me at least 5 minutes if lucky. Usually  7 to 10 minutes per listing using a pre-filled draft. LOL.

And when you try to enter the information line by line for search purposes the info you type disappears every time causing me to enter the information again. This happens every time. Again totally counter productive and not efficient. Who was the HAMMER HEAD (I am trying to be nice) working for eBay who designed this unacceptable new listing page?

This new eBay listing manager is totally counter productive. I have tried on different browsers such as Chrome and Edge and same thing.

I have tried defragment, I have tried disc clean up tool, I have tried updating. I ran a complete Norton system scan, I have tried clear cache and clear data... NOTHING WORKS. I am running Windows 10 with an Asus MoBo with 32GB ddr4 high speed ram, AMD 4 Core 4.40 GHz, with a 2GB Radeon super long graphics card, the one that needs the separate power supply plug. So, I do not have a weak desktop...

And this only happens when listing an item on eBay. Otherwise do not have any other problems on my PC. Does any of these problems sound familiar to anyone else listing on eBay? Has anyone tried and succeeded with any special tricks to make listing faster and more enjoyable on eBay?

Any difference if you try another browser?

I see you have included something about trying Chrome and Edge and getting similar results.

You may want to post on the Selling board if you want to hear from other sellers that might have encountered similar issues when listing. Perhaps someone will have a suggestion about how to avoid the issue entirely. Some sellers are apparently still able to list using the older listing tool given a link, though this is not an option for every seller and the option will likely disappear at some point entirely.

Are you using any common add-ons in all your browsers? Like a script blocker or an ad blocker? It might be worth temporarily disabling to see if that makes any difference. In some situations using an ad blocker might help to avoid getting that "slowing down" message -- particularly if the problem is an ad that is not loading correctly -- but I have no idea if that applies when listing an item.

I wouldn't mind using the new listing manager if it I did not have this crazy slowdown every time I move the mouse and click on something on the page. I switched the "Enhanced Tracking Protection" to the off position after the immense slowdown. I would get the slowdown ever since the new listing manager came about just that it gets slower and slower as time went on and now I just do not want to list on eBay anymore being that it is extremely frustrating. I will investigate about the ad & script blocker options and update on the message board. Thank you for you suggestion.

Others have noticed problems using templates with the new listing tool:

No difference with other browsers, tried Chrome, Edge even Opera and same thing. I don't know....maybe I got infected with adware slowing my computer down. But it only happens when on eBay.
