Subject: Return Flow Issues
Quite some time ago eBay eliminated the ability for Sellers to mark a Returned Item received, WHEN will this be corrected and that functionality put back in to the Return Flow?
I know I am not the only member to report this or make this request but from my own experience in using "Comments" or "Tell us what you think" links PLUS a specific thread about it with eBay looped in it has been about a month.
It would be nice to have confirmation that 1) it has been corrected or 2) advised exactly when it WILL be corrected.
Regards,
Mr. L

I have to ask AGAIN, what is ebay doing about duplicate listings. I've been reporting them on site and calling in, being told their breaking the rules but nothing is done. I know of several sellers breaking the rules of years and nothing is done.????
And its not being able to tell me what ebay did to them, its still seeing month after month after month, even after being report several times
Duplicate listings aren't allowed @tsme35. We have a help page here that lays that policy out. We can only encourage you to continue reporting listings you find and if you compile a list, you could contact Customer Support with it...rather then individually reporting listings one at a time if you're coming across several at a time.

The new listing tool is a huge downgrade from the classic tool. 3x as much clicking and small view of photos with no way to enlarge them. Overall it is a much more time consuming and frustrating experience, certainly not appropriate for full time sellers working on a desktop, and I continue to be aghast that there is no choice to opt out. This is a huge problem for me and many other sellers as you can see if you sift through any thread on this topic. I am sure I speak for many in hoping to see an option to return to the classic listing tool as soon as possible. Thanks you very much for your time and response.
We appreciate the feedback @spiffy*dynamo. I know it's come a long ways since it's first iteration and that they're continually reviewing feedback that is being shared. Continue to supply it in the listing flow as you run into things. The more they get, the better chance there is of additional changes being made.
