I can't create a sale event with multiple discount levels like I have in the past

I went to create another sale event today for the holiday weekend and I no longer have the option to choose multiple discounts. Did ebay remove this feature or is my account having some sort of issue? If ebay did remove this feature, why?!? Does this mean I have to create a sale event for each discount I offer? I typically offer discounts at 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% and possibly 75% for clearance. Do I now need to make 9 different sale events? I honestly don't have time for that.

Checking here to see if it was just me because I just noticed this today too. Even copying a previous campaign only seems to grab the first discount in the list. Must be a recent change since I didn't have this issue a few weeks ago. Guessing they changed something because Markdown Sale isn't even a thing now. Changed to Sale Event, I guess.

This is an intentional change by eBay. Go to this page:

The issue sellers need to look out for: if you copy an old sale that had tiers, it will include only the highest discount percent on all items.

Thanks. I submitted feedback about how awful this change is. I had a system that worked: I usually just copied an old sale, discounted items that didn't sell in the past two sales, and then add my new items to the current sale at the lowest discount and this system took me around two hours to compete. Needing to create 9 new sale events every time I want to discount items is just ridiculous and overly time consuming. I actually have everything in my store marked up 10% so I can do this every couple of weeks too. The last sale I created was August 3rd and it ran for 2 weeks, so I guess I'll be making a lot less sales now. Sad for me because offering sales was a huge conversion for those watchers I sent offers to that never bought the item before the offer expired. Also sad for ebay because that's just more lost revenue for them too. I've been selling on ebay for over 20 years and I'm honestly wondering why I have a store anymore.
