Hi everyone! Thanks for joining us for the Weekly Chat with eBay Staff. We don't have a specific topic this week, so feel free to share any general buying or selling questions you may have.
The chat thread will remain open until 2 PM PT at which point we'll close it from additional responses. After that time, we'll continue to work on responding to any queries that might still be unanswered.
To post your question, click Reply in the lower right corner of this post, type your question, and hit submit between 1-2 PM Pacific Time. The format of our chat mirrors the format of our Community Discussion Boards, where each post will appear in the thread chronologically. The Community Team will review each question as it comes in, and will quote the original question in our reply. This quote and the reply will appear later in the thread, so just keep scrolling down to see our answers.

Now that the "My eBay All Selling" page has finally slipped into oblivion I feel blinded while weekly auctions are closing. Although the information about total bids and bid amounts is available on the Seller Hub Overview page, it is not available on the Listings Active page or the Listings All Selling page. Although the Active page can be configured to display the SKU (Custom Label), number of bids, bid amount and buyer eBay ID, the page cannot easily be sorted in chronological order with auctions first. The All Selling page includes summary information in an oversized panel at the top and can be sorted Auctions first, the auctions are not sorted in closing order from soonest to latest. The Active Listings page cannot be configured to display SKU numbers (Custom Labels) or buyer ID. Useless columns like Available quantity cannot be suppressed. Page navigation is difficult, especially for sellers with more than 1000 or so listings. Page navigation, a relic of the late 20th century is buried in the middle of the page. While it is possible to set the page to show only auctions, the setting disappears when the page is opened a second time.
Why is it not possible for eBay to create a convenient web page that provides convenient at-a-glance information about closing auctions or other rapidly changing events? I associate loss of the old-style My eBay Selling page with loss of control over selling. The new page creates a high wall between me as a seller and information I need for selling.
@clarkphilatelics - I appreciate your feedback on viewing these. As you mentioned, you can sort your 'Active listings' by many different criteria including 'Auctions style listings', which would allow you to view auctions in chronological order. I've never run into this option disappearing, so I would recommend reporting this to customer service if this is something you continue to run into. While we have passed along this feedback, you can continue to use the 'Tell us what you think' feedback link that should be on the top right in Seller Hub to provide the feedback on sorting directly to the Seller Hub team. I know they want the page to be easy for sellers to navigate and continue to work on improvements.
