Just logged on to create listings and I get this ridiculous set of choices ... immediately did the survey asking how to opt out. I DON'T NEED THIS KIND OF HELP, what I need is access to the create a listing page where I can access my 40 plus Templates for most of what I do ...
All this does is add extra steps, a complete waste of programming time not to mention MY TIME.
This might be fine for a new member, like "Create a listing for Dummies" type thing ... my templates START with the info they are asking for ... really really stupid.
My Templates have ALL my prefered settings ...
NOT IMPRESSED
NOT HAPPY

That is ebay, no common sense. They haven't thought about templates? How does this HELP sellers when you have to input item specifics EVERY FRICKIN TIME when you list a new item???? Why is the ebay always SCREWS around in 4th Quarter? Who does that?? EBAY, that is ebay motto, lose tens of millions of buyer every year and put up many obstacles for seller so that seller list less.

If you click Selling in the upper right hand of the page OR Create a listing from the Listing tile THIS IS WHAT I GET! No link to the Templates or Selling page ... I KNOW this is just a test program and my account got lucky was selected.
The work around until they drop this garbage is to select Drafts on the Listing tile then Templates once the Drafts page comes up.
My Templates start with the info they ask to be typed ... duh, I've already typed it soe I DON'T HAVE TO TYPE IT EVERY TIME I CREATE A LISTING.
Sorry but this just infuriates me ... absolutely NO reason to have this page unless for a new Seller who is clueless on what they are doing ...
If they would have had a 4th choice to go directly to the listing page or templates then that would be different but this page is like I've never created a listing before ... REALLY?!?

Wow - this is awful (understatement, I know). What the HEY are they thinking??
I have not experienced this today (so far) - printed labels and relisted 3 items. WOW.
If you cannot list it, you cannot sell it. WOW!

@katzrul15 Seriously, if you look at the choices they give its like the first day of Kindergarten ... and here's the thing ... what I would type in the little window IS ALREADY ON THE FIRST LINE OF MY TEMPLATES!!!!!
This is for someone who is going to start their listing about 10 AM and then take a break for lunch, maybe walk the dog and then finish the listing by 3 PM and feel like they REALLY got a lot accomplished ...
Then the next day they will be here on The Community posting and asking WHY HASN'T MY ITEM SOLD YET????

@mygreatpassionforfashion The new tool is designed for mistakes and missing items ... extremely poor programming ...

I have been updating my legal data over and over and now this is then only thing I see instead of my seller account. We are being blocked.
10-17-2022 08:46 PM
If you have been asked to update your info, alas not being able to sell after January 9, 2022, and you have updated your data over and over and still get the warning in a red banner...This is what one gets
They are blocking users.

It will hit their bottom line one day . It seem they have their geeks creating new designs on this site every year. They may think it is the cutting edge- but most of us dealing with it are not tech savoy and that is where the problem exists.
They are making a what use to be a simple layout into a web of confusion.

I also can't access my templates and it's now a real pain to get to the seller hub without a bookmark with the link, I don't know why they thought this was a good idea.

I wonder just how much money eBay actually chucks away with all the new improved 'broken and unnecessary' non-improvements?
