PETITION TO EBAY TO REVERSE THE LISTING TO ALLOW US TO SELECT OUR TEMPLATES

[sbekoner]

HELP!! 911!! EMERGENCY!! ALERT!! DANGER!! SOUND THE ALARM!!

We need everybody to jump onboard here and get eBay to fix the following issue not being able to select our Templates. Please eBay.... Put that part back how it was!!! Drop Down Menu To Select The Drafts Needed When Creating Templates!!

Short version:

In Sellers Hub, under Listings Tab, and in Draft, click on the BIG BLUE BUTTON "Create Listing", then select single listing. Used to bring me to a page where I could select one of my TEMPLATES. That made listing Efficient and easier. But it's not there anymore.

Last Week:

eBay Limited the number of shown Templates to 10. FAIL! Meaning I have to go around by going direct to the Templates and edit, then saving the Template to use it.

BUT NOW:

Today, like right now, I am not brought to a prelisting page instead!!!! NO TEMPLATE!!!! https://www.ebay.com/sl/prelist/suggest

MOST EPIC FAIL POSSIBLE!!!

I have called several times about this specific issue. Nothing happens. No Solution. Just pushed off and ignored. Dev Team!! Listen!!

Long Whining Story:

Wow! Wow! Wow! Okay eBay!!! What in the heck is going on. First, eBay changes to this new set up when drafting..... Then eBay makes it so when you go to create a new listing, YOU CAN ONLY SELECT FROM A LIMITED 10 TEMPLATES!!!!!??? Then today, I go to create a new listing and NONE OF THE TEMPLATES ARE AVAILABLE TO LIST WITH!!!!!????

Ya, I know I can go into Templates... find the template I want.... Open it, then save the template, and use it to list with!!! However!!! HOWEVER, This is nonsense and a waste of time. I have 50 new items to DRAFT right now.

100% the Team at eBay that is making all these changes are not, absolutely not serious sellers that do not use the platform like us. Some of us make hundreds of drafts at a time.

JUST PUT IT BACK PLEASE EBAY! This is the most frustrated I have been with this platform.

Peace Love And Hippie Stuff

Edit Update:

The list of 10 Templates is back. Half way back to a better way. Still not able to select from my many Templates I have without a very time consuming work around. Really need that drop down so I can select from all of my Templates.

for some unknown reason, the ebay teams hate desktop users.   they are bent on simplifying the tool to a mobile only platform although this only complicates it and makes for a disgusting computer experience.   i am curious as to who is driving this push to ruin the desktop experience and wonder how much longer they will be working at ebay?   this mobile forward and mobile only push is not working for ebay sellers.

    Talk about making a mistake and sticking with it!

The listing tool itself is only half baked and forces a slower, more frustrating listing experience due to all the mobile popups and extra clicks and "out of sight out of mind toggles".   Now we know why there has not been any improvement for months- the team has moved on to the Pre listing pages to "mobilize" them.    what a disappointment ebay has become.

  Although ebay is faithfully following its traditional release ark-

1. pay the cheapest bidder to design and program something nobody wants-

2.force people to use it when nobody does by choice-

3.redesign it and tinker with it for a few months to appease the angry masses- move

4.on before the issue is actually fixed-leave millions of users worse off than when they started-

5.Come up with  idea on how to disrupt sales with the next site change

6. employees cash out and move on and company hires more fresh out of collage inexperienced help and then-- rinse and repeat.

eBay dropped the ball before they dropped our desktop templates .. just more inconvenience to even sell on their inflated fee platform.  so now i just keep all items with none available listed seeing how ebay said it would be December before the templates is fixed .. talk about a losing company

You forgot "Danger Will Robertson!"

Yes, these new "Tool" designed by FOOLS will be the death of FeeBag.  From deleting description when listing to now not letting you list in the proper category that is suggested by the TOOLS, claiming it is invalid.  I am ready to tell them where they can stick it!

This link will bring up the original Drafting page where you can select the Template Drop Down. This works for now.

This drop down is key to effective and efficient listing. There is zero arguments that this is the case. Any change that omits that drop down menu is absolutely a step in the wrong direction and an epic failure.
