Does anyone else hate the new listing form???

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.

 Every time the E-idiots make a change it sucks.  They do not care.

Every time they make a change they do so without making sure it works.  I am very upset they

changed scheduled listings, instead of being able to list every minute, it is changed to every 15 minutes.

I cannot work with this, it is detrimental to me to be able to list every minute for auctions.  I cannot have

them end all at the same time either.  I will lose money.  So yes, for this reason I hate the change.  I swear they have people making these changes who have zero clue as to what sellers want.

I bet there are only doing this new listing form with a few sellers at a time. Or I KNOW that there would be a flood of comments.  There sneaky here, this way they don't get many complaints.  Well, I took 4 months off this place because of how bad it is.  Looks like I will taking a lot more time off.

My biggest issue with listing items is the multitude and most of the time irrelevant description specifications that eBay insists I answer.

Some examples are "character, character group, theme, date created, silhouette, etc".

Not all of my items have these specifications or i don't see the need to limit attributes of an item.  

I believe some of the description specifications are going a little too far.

Unfortunately until eBay makes the changes I just have to waste my time by answering these ridiculous questions!

I can still list by the minute. Nothing has changed that I can see.

I love it!  So much faster.  But then, I don't use variations.

Great Moms turn them off first.

Of all people Cool Hand, you should know that Ebay has a failure to communicate., especially with sellers.

I got the old page back.   On the top right of the new listing page, there should be something that says, "switch to business tool", or something like that, i already forgot.  If it is not there, sign out of ebay, clear your cache and cookies, sign back into ebay, go to sell an item, when you get to the selling page, "switch to business tool" should be there now.  Click on it. The old page will be back.  I got it back and my minute counter for scheduling was back.  So relieved.  Let me know if you got it back.

One of the worse changes eBay ever made. Takes listing back to the stone age. The defects and errors and blind alley's are compounding as they will not admit nor fix errors before making more changes which just add to the unfixable. For example, no real changes to the pic function except shrunk the page but makes buttons farter apart and splitting the pic workspace and admin details 50/50 in the space while shrinking the pic to postage size.  How do you edit a pic you cannot see.  Just left feedback back to eBay.  The new change just increased our listing times 2X to 3X over the old .   Wow, eBay you blew it

Its taking some time to get used to it, listing from a computer it seems like little improvement to the classic form. The only thing is now I don't have to look at the subtitle bar anymore since I do't use that. Having to switch on scheduled everytime is a bit of a pain though. We are just going to have to get used to it, ebay loves changing stuff when they don't really have to. If it aint broke don't fix it!

EB site is bloated and needs a lot of streamlining.  A lot of duplicate & triplicate features.  I'm sure they're trying to figure it out, but because it's old coding, they're probably stuck.  It would be better to just a brand new site.
