Another "new listing format is terrible" post.

No reason that we all shouldn't speak up about it.  It's garbage.  It looks like a cartoon.  It wants me to click a ton of extra crap and try to hold my hand and walk me through all of the options.  I already know what I'm doing.  This is just slowing me down.  Has eBay ever made any big changes that were actually positive?

Oh, and I "love" getting numerous e-mails.  You've listed your item!  Yeah, duh.  I just hit the button to say "list it", and it then appeared on my active list.  I don't need another spam e-mail from e-bay to go with the "you've submitted a counter offer", or your item has sold, when I literally just clicked the "accept offer" button.  Yeah, I know it sold.  Oh hey, if I bought a label, can you send me an e-mail for each and every one?  I'm only buying 10 today, so keep those useless e-mails coming right on in.

I am starting to think there must be something wrong with me, as I find the new listing format easier, faster and more enjoyable!

Maybe because I am a very visual person, the visual aids in the new format really help me with scanning for errors in my listings before I finalize them.  In the old system, it was just a wall of text scattered all over the page. 


I'm not particularly visual (or not visual) but I didn't find it that bad - there were some glitches (first class shipping option missing, bouncing page) which really should never have been there to begin with, but they've been largely ironed out and now I list on it now as quickly as I did the old one.  So I guess either way, old or new, is OK with me.

Garbage is right, as far as my applications, and having to utilize a desktop.   It's become so far more time-consuming, so difficult with a disability involving scrolling and typing, and now progressively more difficult to hire, train, and pay an employee to replace listing duties.  eBay pre-clicks too many options that you have to change, nevermind all the click-to-scroll, then click and scroll again (for one single listing specific).  How many times do I have to put the type of metal in?  They've experienced a remarkable, overall decrease in traffic, and I am going to have to head to another career if things don't change.  I'm in agreement with you.
