How to regain "Classic View"

[treschic53]

I have classic on one account, but my main eBay account was switched to the new format.  For a couple of months I was able to manually change to classic by bookmarking the page, but it no longer works.

I dislike the new format, it wastes too much of my time and energy.  It takes up too much space for a seller---I want to see everything concisely, quickly. 

Can't seem to figure it out.....Have tried the seller hub. It's just as bad., even after customizing and removing a lot of unnecessary columns.

How do I restore "classic view"?   TIA for any help.

Just another reason to continue moving my listings to Etsy.

Well, you can't. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but Seller Hub is the new normal. For what it's worth, I've been using Seller Hub for forever and think that it is very logical, practical and user-friendly.

I've got my Overview set as my home page and find everything quickly. Don't be afraid to play around with it... hit some hot buttons, see what's under each Tab. Just another something new to learn... sit back and good luck!

Search "classic my ebay", find a link to the classic site...and bookmark it again.

Not true and thank god for ways to get back to the classic site. 

Maybe you think the new seller hub is user friendly because you forget just how much easier the older seller page was. 

1.) For me, the active listings page comes up showing less than half the information, most of which is so far off to the right that I can't see it without scrolling (and then double scrolling). How is this user friendly?

2.) The classic site shows active, sold, unsold, saved drafts, returns, performance, offers...all on the same page.  The new page has this info scattered all over this place. How is this user friendly?

Google search or eBay search? I have tried eBay many times with no luck. I'll try Google.

I agree with your comments to @mtgraves7984 -----I don't find the new format user friendly at all, even after customizing it.  That's why I am putting as many of my listings as possible on Etsy, but not everything qualifies for that site.

1.) Under Active Listings, click on the 'Customize table' (hot) button to select the fields to be the ones you'd like to view. (My guess is that you don't need to see all 23 fields... mine shows the 8 that I use.) If it's still too wide, you can drag and drop to resize the columns. No scrolling left to right. User-friendly.

2.) Hover over the Listings tab and use the drop-down menu - or- click on the Listings tab and choose from the choices on the left. All at-a-glance. User-friendly.

Perhaps you missed the post by eBay staff reporting that sellers listed as a business will be permanently moved to Seller Hub and won't be able to return to Classic view.

But my account type is set up as individual type if that makes any difference...................

@sandcastlesales   I think that should make a difference, since only the Business accounts were mandatory.  I went to a personal account, which is not yet in Managed Payments, and was able to switch. I don't know if Managed Payments sellers are allowed to switch.

Classic AllSelling page (dll-based url)

https://my.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MyEbayBeta&CurrentPage=MyeBayNextAllSelling

New AllSelling page

https://www.ebay.com/mys/overview?MyEbayBeta&CurrentPage=MyeBayNextAllSelling

I think the difference is that Business sellers are moving from the Classic AllSelling page to Seller Hub AllSelling, which doesn't look much different than the Classic view.

All Selling - Classic vs New

Below is Seller Hub, where more columns can be added (or removed or rearranged).
