What is wrong with the people at eBay? Is there something in the water that causes insanity there?
What's the reason that things MUST forever change?
WHY are we forced to CONSTANTLY relearn the site.
PUT IT BACK THE USEFUL WAY IT WAS AND LEAVE THINGS ALONE!!!!!!!!!!
Now Have to waste a lot of time I could be using to create new listings to figure out how to find what I already new.
The Listed page is GARBAGE TOO.

Simply because office people are not of any use unless they have meetings & come up with bad ideas on how to "improve things." They have no idea how things work efficiently so, they just create ways to make changes that might save eBay a buck or 2. Changes always come from people who have no idea how things function & will never use these systems themselves. LOL Good luck to all. 🙂

AARRRRGGGHH! The new selling page is HORRIBLE!
I can see at most 3 items on the page unless I make the type so small I can barely read it. What is it with the fascination programmers have with white space?
One suspects they experience orgasmic pleasure at the sight of a snowstorm.
One of the WORST changes I have ever seen on eBay!

Guys, I have an idea: lets call eBay every **bleep** day and ask and ask and ask again and again "how to get back old design"!
If overall call volume will increase for a week or two, someone from management should take care (at least, this will affect to the eBay phone bill).

I haven`t seen it yet. I can`t wait (sarcasm). I doubt it can be any worse than the feedback page, the watch list, the new purchase history page or the new shipping label page. No improvements IMO.

good morning etvideolataol, I agree.
It wastes my time and energy.
It also muddies up what could/should be clear and easy to fill out form.
I agree we should look at and verify every detail as we list, most especially if we're doing "sell similar" to be sure of accuracy. However - then eBay has added choices and deleted choices to where you'd easily fill it out wrongly unintentionally!
I sell mostly clothing and it confounds me to have to fill in both Material AND Exact Material. Really eBay?
Occasion. Really eBay? Many, many garments are suitable for office wear as well as shopping or party wear, am I cutting out 2/3 of buyers if I select Career?
You finally added Garment Care, cool. However to choose between Machine Washable and Dry Clean "Only" when garment is labeled "OR" limits my shoppers.
Theme? Garments have themes? News to me.
Country. Yeah-h-h-h, you still have Macao when I've NEVER seen such on a label, they're all spelled Macau.
On magazines I now have four boxes to put the date. Really eBay?
I made a suggestion to eBay well over a year ago; the new long selling form is so long would you please use several light background colors to clarify to me which section I'm in. No, seriously, if everything was white background down to below photos, pale pink Item Specifics, Selling Specifics pale green, Shipping back to white, Sell It Faster and Fees yellow = it'd help so much. I can't be the only one that gets lost!
I posted a question on Quora;
"Why do so many web pages require scrolling when the info could easily be displayed all at once? Ther...

I had a boss once whose favorite expression was, Change is good. He said it frequently, many times a day. Change is good. Change is good.
I cringed inside and finally one day, I said, With all due respect, that is not a true statement.
He was astounded and asked why?
I said, Suppose your wife died tomorrow. That would be change. Would it be good?
He mumbled no and scurried/slunk off into his office.

Do you have Selling Manager still?
I got hit with this pathetic solds page aeons ago, but I only get served it if I hot unsolds on the generic selling page.
If I go to Selling Manager it's still there the way it was. (I didn't get opted into the Hub for whatever reason).

OK, I found a solution to this mess - sort of. We apparently cannot revert back to the original "Sold" page, but you CAN get back the "Sold" layout you are familiar with - just on a different page.
1. Go to My eBay
2. Make sure "SUMMARY" is highlighted on the left, if it isn't, click on it
3. Hover over "ACTIVITY", then select "SELL" from the popup menu
4. Confirm the link at the top of the page says "Switch to New Selling Overview", if it does, skip step 5 and go right to step 6.
5. If the link at the top of the page reads "Switch to Classic View", CLICK IT.
6. Scroll down the page, find the "SOLD" table you know & love, and use the little arrows in the top right corner of the header to bring that "SOLD" table up to the top of the page (or wherever you like it).
7. Bookmark your new "SOLD" page and delete the old bookmark.
I hope this helps.

Here's the underlying issue to the vast majority of why they do stuff like this.
They cannot understand why people don't use eBay.
They think that if the make it look different young people will flock here. They do not agree that the problem with eBay is eBay.
The key to making billions isn't to fundamentally change the company and how they run the site, it has to be that the logo is the wrong color. People don't use eBay because the layout of the sold page is ugly......
eBay just wants to sell everything. If it requires that we the sellers drop the price to 5cents with free shipping, they're all for it.
sellers want to sell stuff for the highest price that gets them consistent sales. eBay always fights us to take best offer, to lower the price. They even advertise things like "fast and free" but where is the money for me to ship it fast and pay for it out of my pocket so that it is free to my customers. Fast requires priority or overnight shipping. cheap shipping is slow. Ultimately, as a seller I have to lay it out. You can have it fast, or you can have it shipped for free, but not both.

I haven`t seen it yet. I can`t wait (sarcasm).
