Wow. eBay moved all posts CONDEMNING SELLER HUB to "Read Only Archive" - But WHERE IS THAT??

[dr.mia52]

What a shock (NOT.)

EBay moved thousands of posts condemning Seller Hub/crying out for the reinstatement of CLASSIC VIEW ALL SELLING page  to "Read Only Archives."   BUT HOW DOES ONE EVEN ACCESS THAT???????

There is no drop-down option anywhere that I can find to access Read Only Archives.  Does anyone know?

I was able to get to my own post only via My Subscriptions.  I can't find other members' posts listed.

eBay has reorganized some of the community boards, retiring some of the board categories, and moving or renaming others. Old posts are still searchable and readable, but some old categories are closed to new posts -- hence the "Read only" designation.

See here for some info about the changes:

At the moment you can still reach the old "Seller Hub" board using the link that appears at the top of your post, and I believe you can reach the entire "Read Only Archive" by using the link you have circled in your image.

Can't speak negatively about what our selling overlord wokeBay blesses us with... You know kinda like the Communist.. err Democrat Party.... After all they know what you need and are allowed much more than you do.....

Probably done more so to free up space on the boards rather than rehashing the same old thing that can not be named and is not coming back, no matter how may posts were added to it.

Good decision IMO, I would rather address the issues that can help sellers

They should do the same thing with the "I hate MP" posts and the Sri Lanka posts!

I think you are confusing "reorganization" with "censorship" and eBay with Twitter. I am against censorship as much as you are, but happen to be aware of the reorganization that was scheduled.

eBay has reduced the number of forums to reduce clutter (too may forums existed), but you are still able to voice all of your negative opinions on this forum and others. What has changed is that there are fewer forums. Some forums that were created for special purposes (Like the Active content forum that I frequented, and like the Seller Hub forum that the OP referenced) have now fulfilled their initial purpose and have retired.  They can still be found in search and it is still possible to read and share those old posts (unlike Twitter).

However, those archived forums no longer accept new posts. That, however, does prevent one from starting new posts on the new forums.  You can revive your gripes on the new layout (unlike Twitter or communism).

eBay is definitely censoring posts that expose the truth. Some of my posts got "edited" by moderators because they didn't like certain words I used, even though the cheerleaders on here used the same words in their post but were not censored.
