Gee, another bad Page Layout ...

When I click "Summary" I like the Classic page layout because EVERYTHING I want to see or check is right there.  I want to see the total Fees owed at the time I check Summary.  And oh wow, over on the left is a list of other things I can do if I want, like a link to PayPal, etc.  Here's what it looks like:

But now, when I click Summary I get another one of those horrible page layouts that has no information on it NOR a link to Summary which is what I wanted in the first place.  I have NOT clicked any of the links on this new page, I just click the Return to Classic page layout and do what I want to do.  In looking at the links for some strange reason I don't see any for Summary???  I am a bit weary of these needless changes ...

@mr_lincoln- I posted regarding this new page about a month ago as I started seeing it the same time they switched to the new FB page. If you click on "seller account" under the selling heading it will take you to the summary page.

 

I added the link to my Seller Hub shortcuts so I can bypass the new page entirely. Like you, I prefer to see the summary when I go to my seller account page.


That's pretty much what I did for the Classic My eBay Active list ... eBay will eventually stop supporting those older pages but until they do i prefer many of them.  I'll just add the Summary Page URL that I prefer to  my Bookmarks ...

I understand that they want the buyer-facing side to be more mobile friendly- and that they are making the seller-facing side more mobile friendly for consistency, however most seller activity is performed on full size laptops and desktops. It would be great if they could use slightly less white space on the seller pages to make it easier on the eyes. They could keep the same mobile layouts but integrate more light gray backgrounds or something similar.


It's pretty simple, if a Seller does not log in on their smart phone via the phone app then they should default to a computer friendly page layout ... it's not rocket science.  How do you like this page design?  Just put one button per page and be done with it right?

Uh...Y-E-A-H!

I read a post from Trinton- I think it was Trinton- who said that it's mostly older sellers that hate all the white space.

 

Well I'm a millennial and while I think the white space is fine on mobile screens I think it's harsh on the eyes for a larger computer screen- as I mentioned above.

 

I think a good compromise is to have the buyer facing pages include more white to stay on brand- but have the seller back end pages incorporate more light gray with a slightly more compact layout for business functions.
