Every time Ebay changes things, it is for the worse. I've been trying to create a listing and it is impossible to do. For an attribute in variations, I type in a heading as "color". It gives an error saying, this isn't a valid heading, use, For example, Size, Color, or Material. Seriously?????
I've now spent 2 days trying to create a new listing and it's 1 problem after another. Even the original style isn't working. I type in about 15 variations, and if I try to delete one, it freezes and when I refresh, everything disappears. I could just scream right now.

I find myself doing much less listing now since it's become such an onerous task with
the current setup. I've also noticed that most of the time for overseas shipping in the listing,
eBay Global Shipping is the default shipping method despite the fact that I never use it.
Another wasted step I have to deal with.
Also, sales are off significantly from before. Not sure if this is a summer trend or permanent.
With postal increases on the way, I'm afraid things will only get worse.

Agreed.
I too list mostly unique items and this just takes too darned long to do each one.
A lot of valuable time wasted and makes me really limit my new postings.

Glad to see that its not just me. I cant get into listing anymore either. Just knowing that just about every turn there is going to be a senseless waste of time or extra 3 clicks to do something is like a hurdle to even trying.
It has been complete "crickets" from ebay about any improvements or changes so I figure that they just said screw it an moved on.
My wife has done about 5 listings in the last 2 weeks and each time comes away murmuring under her breath at the shipping section lol.
I have just given up for the time being although in the last 3 months we have probably NOT added close to 600 new listings here because of the unified listing experience
Not that i would wish the new tool on anybody but at least new users will confirm the same issues and design flaws that we have been talking about for months and may be will tip the scales to get change.

Yes, I hate it also. I'm finding it a lot more complicated.

It totally sucks and it will decrease our sales listing and also buying.
It is a worthless search system and the person at ebay who created this stupid method shoulc be fired immediately.

I agree!!! eBay should give us sellers a choice in keeping the old listing tool & format!!!

I have complained to ebay about the new SLOW and ambiguous listing page, October 2022. I spoke to ebay and they are getting HUNDREDS of complaints a day to each assistant. It's taking me three times longer to list an item, so I told ebay that I'm listing on VINTED instead of ebay. I also warned them that their business will suffer as a result of the new listings page. There is no button to select the old system, so EBAY will have to do a 'Systems Restore' to replace the new with the old, it's one of the worst moves that ebay has made in the entire 19 years I have used them. I also told them that until it's restored, I will be using alternative sights which are far more navigable than this awful new page.

Ebay''s motto is:
"WE ARE EXPERTS AT FIXING WHAT ISN'T BROKEN!!"
I guess some of the employees have to do SOMETHING to justify their paychecks.
