How do I get back to the old quick style listing tool?

I was listing items using the general old quick style listing tool then BAM it changed to a new style quick listing tool that SUCKS! 

I tried to use the advance listing tool and it is equally terrible. 

 

I miss the old style because I would be able to copy and paste from Word into the text box and it would accept the font, color and my pictures.

 

I can no longer do this 😞  

 

I spent over an hour with Ebay support and they have no idea what I am talking about

Here is what I mean.

 

 

I posted this new item using the advance style tool, and it just bunched up my words, got rid of my color, font type and pictures 😞 It looks terrible.

The new quick style tool does that same thing.

There is probably not a way to do what you want since eBay wants all listings free of active context and anything that isn't mobile friendly or compliant. I don't believe there is a a way to embed photos in your item description any longer either.

 

Just experimented with it and I'm not showing anything when I go to the Preview view, so I'm no help!

 

I know initially it would mean some work for you, but what I would suggest is creating a couple of templates that are customized to your liking, and using those to create your listings. That way, you would at least retain the formatting you prefer.

 

Hopefully, someone will be along shortly who is able to help you more.

Thank you, but sadly I was able to do it for quite a few items today and it like all of a sudden switch to some new tool completely. 😞 Rest of my listings are fine

hmm now it won't even let me back to the quick style listing tool.  Tried to switch back using all different browsers.  I am stuck on advanced 😞

@sells1234 I recommend you switch to the Advanced Listing Tool ... it is NOT that difficult.

Well if you looked at my picture, can you tell me then what went wrong?

 

What I typed in the box did NOT look like that at all.  The spacing, color, and font are all different.  It looks to blurred together.  

I put spaces and paragraphed the text.  When I hit accept to post, that is what I got.  *Please refer above* and provide helpful content and not smirk comments please.

 

Also, when I now go to revise any listing, the content to the item is all gone and the page is blank.  It makes me fill everything back in from scratch, when I was only wanting to fix a word of text.....

 

This is frusterating....

Advanced actually has more options that you might like, such as being able to remove Best Offer, which is the default on the simple listing tool, and you can't remove it there.
