How do I get back to the regular classic version of Ebay-

How do I get back to the regular classic version of Ebay-The look has changed drastically. I'm not ever sure how to start a new listing and I'm trying to "sell similar" which I do all the time in the past. 

Any info please

Duffy- lucky for you that that you still have access to the classic!.   Believe me- if it just about accepting an adapting we would have no problem. It is that this tool was so horrifically built that its nothing to adapt to. It forces sellers to take 3-5x longer to do a listing because of its mobile app nature. Click click click click popup popup popup- oh you cannot see or reference your title now because you are in the item specifics popup box... what was my part # that i just typed into description?- cant see it now - so you have to back out of the box to check again.  Its a complete oversight and horrible web design for a desktop.

want to add a shipping handling fee?- 7 clicks and hidden in 3 different popups.

want to add a second shipping option? instead of just clicking all the options you wanted in the first step- you have to click into edit all/ shipping /add shipping/ add domestic shipping/ finally make selection- and all of this in different popup boxes.

Its not about adapting- its about seriously bad designing and programming forced onto  customers who just want the classic tool.

You can try this,

https://www.ebay.com/mys/overview

The links to various selling pages are on the left side under "Selling". I open each page (Sold, Active, Scheduled, etc.) in a new tab and just navigate between tabs. Works for me. Try it. You might like it.

BTW, I haven't used an eBay listing page in years. I just bring up a closed or current listing and use "Sell similar", editing the item to match the parameters of the new listing. No fiddling with constantly-changing eBay listing pages. The listing also gets a new item number and the "New listing" tag when posted. HTH.

When are we going to start hearing "ever since the new listing format my sales have plummeted"?

Hint: Learn the  most recent way 'cause  as specific question  on  this site for help but  be specific    If you are not changing you'll be getting further behind.

 In  college mid 60's had a required class that involved computer programming via Fortran and IMB  punch cards.  They only thing I learned was for certain I did not  want a career that involved this - got a hook or 2.0 or C & was happy.. Fast forward 27 years at age 50. I among others were handed  a nice IBM touch pad laptop about $4800 back then - never  used one in my life - our secretary did all that  keyboard stuff - was  given about 1 hour of  training with a simple message from  the boss -  times are a changing  - "sink or swim".  - learned the Office package and loved it after  freezing up the laptop a zillion times - helped me fine tune my "truck driver"  type lingo.

One more thing - our 3.5  y.o. grandson can navigate around on a cell phone & tablet - he started a little over a year ago.  BTW  he likes to  listen & dance to  Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong and boot up my stereo  DVD player while we  play around on our pool table and roll dice on the table too - his way - I  play follow me PaPa - he is  a good teacher too.

You  can do  the "newer eBay" too.

Worked for two very  large Japanese company - Mitsubishi & Komatsu.  The both applied a planning cycle process just  like the  link below. the  called it in simple translated from there native tongue to English (Americanese as I say) the never ending business  whether it be sales, marketing, engineering, production, distribution etc.of  "Plan - See - Do".  And the always had there, facts, results on a single piece of  paper folded and place in the inside pocket of their suit coat - usually  dark blue or dark gray..

My sales haven't plummeted but my already low enjoyment of listing has.
