Changes in the appearance of the active listing page

[yourconsigner]

I recently noticed that the headers on the active listing page has changed. It used to show total listings, number of listings with questions, number of watchers and auctions ending. That's gone. Does anyone know how to retrieve it? Or is this yet another "improvement" from eBay's thinktank?

As far as I know you can't.  But if you click into your active listings all the info is there.  Just customize your columns to give you the info you want to see.

There is no way to retrieve the old, efficient version once you've been switched over to the new crappy version @yourconsigner .

Please submit comments through the "comments" link next to the blue "create listing" button to let them know what you think.

There is a longer discussion about it found through the link in my signature below.

Use these filters:

All filters > Listing Activity > Listings with Questions

All filters > Listing Activity > Listings with Watchers

For auctions ending, you need to sort your columns by end date - if you don't have an end date column then add it with the customize link.

If it were up to ebay we would go back to a square wheel because it must be better because it has more sides LOL.

     Its almost a mental illness at this point to keep thinking that adding more steps and inefficient filter processes are better. Simple is 100% almost always the best option in nearly every situation- the most amount of relevant info in the simplest format and easily viewable will trump searching through popup after popup any day and every day........and yet here we are again.    Ebay did this 2 years ago with listing tool and everybody hated it to the point of stopping listing on ebay, resulting in a painful 2 year process of refining it back to what we basically had at the start.

     I guess they figured this active listing page is less critical to new listings and they could get away with forcing this new design on sellers without as much pushback?    Why on earth do they continue with such obviously inefficient and bad web designs? why?  Will ebay come out and let us know even (1) positive aspect of this change- we would like to hear it so see where you are coming from.  We need a common ground to start a conversation about why this keeps happening.

Thank you Jesus I am not the only one! I swear when I try to search topics on certain things, I always come up empty. I have provided feedback many times on pretty much every change they've made. They only seem to do one thing consistently well...put the cart before the horse and roll it out before its even been tried as a mockup. Nothing they change adds any relative incentive from a seller perspective. I wonder if the app IT people got confused and went to the wrong building for Web IT instead! 24 years of this and I feel like I know next to nothing about selling. That **bleep** in the listing format was absolutely absurd! I did actually have a conversation with them via email regarding how their format caused me to lose money when the item specifics changed on their own accord AFTER I entered the pertinent information. That forced me to accept a return that should have never been a consideration had their "new" format worked the way it was supposed to BEFORE they forced it on us. I could go on and on, I've seen a lot of changes over the years...most of them not for the benefit of the seller.

Just happened to me, and it sucks.

yeah, this just happened to me today.  I guess it was a gradual roll out.  I hate it.  A lot of unnecessary extra steps to get what you want..  

I also hate that they got rid of the search bar on sale promotion pages.  What on earth were they thinking with that?
