eBay

I use a desktop to mass list hundreds of listing every day, and I have some premade drafts with some specific information that is the same. With the old listing interface, I can do like 1-3 listing a minute, if I'm focused I can do 4. I uses the new interface to add pictures after I finished filling in all the listing information, I think the new interface is clear and easy, but it felt very unfinished.

Today, I found out that I'm stuck with this unfinished product.

My problems are:

1. take ages to save anything I filled in.

2. It deletes everything I filled in.

I am very willing to learn a new listing system if it's finished. As of now, this new listing interface is not time efficient at all. If I get more used to the new system I am sure I can get to the same speed or faster, but the issue is it keeps deleting everything I filled in. Why would eBay put out something so bad for sellers?

It appears that plenty of other sellers have been "enrolled" in the new listing tool today as measured by the numerous posts on page 1 of this forum. There is no going back. It is full of glitches. eBay thinks it is WONDERFUL, so it must be so regardless of what users think about this ~~enhancement~~ experience.

When it affects eBay's monetary intake, they may do something about it. For you, think DIVERSIFICATION.

Wow this is so ridiculous and un-professional of ebay, why are they sabotaging sellers and there own bottom line. With a totally pitiful lay out, whoever designed it, should be fired. It kills the whole momentum of what sellers were used to. Who comes up with these ideas, sounds like they come from the school of bad ideas. I will not add anymore items, it is just a plain eye sore to look at and big headache trying to learn it all and list.

THE TRUTH IS, IT IS A VERY DUMB IDEA EBAY, WAY TO GO!

From what I have read it is because eBay wants the same listing form to be used on all devices.

Choosing what might be regarded as the least common denominator, eBay had chosen to make its new listing form work best for the mobile app. Users of all other devices can, as the old saying goes, lump it.

eBay is run by idiots. I use eBay on my computer specifically because I hate screwing with phones and apps and their limited functionality. Looks and feels like cartoonish kid crap.
