Please Do not remove sort by Custom Label Sku in Seller Hub

[xray360]

Being able to sort by Custom Label allows our orders of the same item and item location to be grouped together. This allows for a more efficient work flow by not having to go to the same location multiple times. It also helps avoid picking the wrong item by accident since having the skus sorted is easier on the eyes.

If you are a seller please submit a comment to ebay to keep this feature. Sorting by record, and buyer name isn't a big deal, but sorting by custom label is an important feature for picking items.

This is not our selling account.

I also use the SKU field for locating items.  If I want to know what's in a certain box, I can sort by SKU. 

Please reply to this if you feel the same.

@xray360   @krazzykats   Be sure to use the comment option to let eBay now that this is NOT a good idea.

I've always wanted eBay to add an online zip code sort in the seller hub.  Now I will probably have to download a spreadsheet to do more of the same things...sigh...just more time-consuming.

Many online sellers use SKUs for locating, and categorizing items.  Wonder why it is being removed.

I hope more sellers will respond and comment to its removal. 😊

@krazzykats   I don't use sku's but sometimes I need to sort by buyer USER id... That's just silly ( to put it mildly) to remove these options.  

I don't have the notice yet that this feature is being removed on my account.

I just noticed the banner on my account.  I will be submitting a comment here shortly.  I use sort by buyer name and sort by SKU and not having that option will be, as eBay puts it, "disruptive".

@krazzykats @mcdougle4248 

Good to hear. I sent a comment to eBay already. Hopefully they just leave it alone.

Sure hope they don't do that........we use it for item locations......checking inventory accuracy........  have no notice as yet.

I'm searching for this announcement but can't seem to find it. can someone point me in the right direction? thanks!

@hensonco 

As far as I know, there has not been an "official" announcement.  I see the banner appear when I select sort by Custom label (SKU) on my Seller Hub awaiting shipment and paid and shipped pages.

[hensonco]

thank you! I will go do the same thing and see if I get it as well. thanks!

[mcdougle4248]

@hensonco 

You are welcome.  Please come back and let us know if you see the banner now.

[hensonco]

yeppers, it's on my Seller Hub page as well. 😞
I've submitted my thoughts.

@hensonco 

Thank for coming back to let us know.  And, thank you for leaving your comments about this change.

I hope eBay will reconsider and just leave it as is.

Agreed. If eBay had any interest in listening and understanding sellers, they would know this BEFORE THEY ANNOUNCED its removal.

After 20 years on eBay I am not surprised. This is the first I have heard of this change. 

Sorting by Custom label (SKU) will soon be unavailable. If this change is disruptive, please submit a comment.

YES. This is disruptive. 

eBay, can you change your paradigm to include seller feedback/suggestions in development of the eBay Platform we pay for?

Oops, I almost forgot nobody from eBay is here to listen to integrate feedback/suggestions. After 20 years I've learned the answer for sellers. I'll cross my fingers and see what happens. I'll figure out my own solution to deal with eBay unwanted/unrequested changes that eBay has determined sellers need. 🙄
