Regards,
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

Just tried to find my saved templates as well - they are not here! What the?? I have over 20 saved templates............Man, I am so not gonna like this tomorrow. I do need (as does everyone) to get some new product up. Wow - it let me relist with no issues. But I cannot access my templates either! GGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRR...............................
@katzrul15 The work around to Templates I found to be through the Draft folder ... click Drafts then the Template link should be over in the left gutter where is normally is. Now, if you are saying the deleted all your templates that's another issue entirely.

I encourage others to do the same.
@wastingtime101 Very good advice, I respect and appreciate the calm approach you showed ... Mr Lincoln was NOT happy last night and WAS NOT using nice words ... I definitely had about 10 minutes of R Rated behavior ...
The system did kind of go in circles when I typed in "A Pile of Doggie Doo", it could not return any suggestions ... not even Dog Bones ...
@chapeau-noir Not a glitch ... the overlay page is designed to specifically accept typed input and has three choices one can make ...

I use a 3rd party listing service for everything I sell... and I never, never, NEVER go through eBay to create a listing. Now, rather than providing the helpful overview as I've reviewed through "SELL" for years now... it takes me to their colorful, but worthless display ad? There is nothing there that I want to see... and nothing I will ever use.
What were they thinking? It's a radical departure... with absolutely no warning. What's the point??
@saturdaystoys Where eBay absolutely FAILS with this sort of thing is they have the survey request AFTER they launch these idiotic ideas ... they would get a much better response if they did a Survey that included those choices and ask Sellers if they thought it would beneficial ... at which point they would have gotten good feedback from experienced Sellers who actually know what they are doing and know what works and what doesn't ...
The approach they use invites reactions like mine, NOT HAPPY ...
@steve_stuff wrote:You said 'logged on to create listings' - I presume you clicked on the same link as you always do, and got that new page, right? If so, which link did you click on, a template, the 'sell' on top or a sell similar?
If it was the sell link OR a template, then it doesn't affect us as we don't use 'real' templates [we sell similar] and haven't clicked on any sell or create listing from scratch link since ... day one in 2001? - even after the heart attack in 05, when everything on ebay 'timed out' we just used turbo lister to relist from.
But if it was what you see after clicking on sell similar then WE have a problem.
