New 'layout' for unsold items. This will now QUADRUPLE time it takes to re-list.

[arisdisc]

Not seeing a thread on this. Am I the 'first' to see this change? I just went to re-list a couple hundred items. I usually pick and choose which ones I want to do and never just do 'all' at once.
So now, with the new 'layout' I can see THREE items on my Dell 41 inch monitor at a time. Yesterday, before this change, I could see around TWENTY.
So, manually selecting items to re-list will now take a crazy amount of extra wasted time. Scroll...check the boxes of the ones I want to re-list. Scroll for three more items....check the boxes. etc.

I'll never understand why changes like this can't be just 'tested' with sellers or at least give us a chance to opt-out. There have been a number of changes that I haven't liked in here over the years, but this one could easily be the worst yet. I can't see one single advantage by making each item so HUGE with a lot of unnecessary text beneath them. (like 'sell tip'. I've been selling on Ebay for 18 years. I really don't need any 'tips').

Thoughts?

I don't have that change on my unsold page - mine contains 50 items a page that needs to be relisted. I'm hoping I'm not thrown into this rest as it would make things more difficult.

I had that change yesterday and opted out.  There is a place to switch back to classic view, which I wasted no time in doing.

I totally fail to see the attraction of this type of layout.

Who are they targeting? The seller who sells ONLY 3 items at a time?

[I try not to rant or be too negative most of the time, and have had pretty good luck avoiding all the browser related issues others seem to encounter using the latest versions, but this one is affecting me too]

It's awful.

I normally use FF3.6.24 (very old version) that has been tweaked over the years with addons and scripts, and css rules to beat the eBay website into something acceptable. After eBay bleeped up the listing form a while back I was forced to use FF31 at a minimum to list or revise an item.

The unsold page is completely dead, unresponsive, and unusable in FF3.6.24 and barely working in FF31. To clear the popup overlay that appeared the first time I had to use FireFox 40.

It is primitive looking, lacking in information density, and is an eyesore. Just had to make it look like the PayPal kindergarten fingerpaint style and ruin it's usability didn't they?

Where did the "time period" filter go? I don't want to see 60 days of unsold items (there are too many due to abysmal sell through). I want 7 or 31 like it was.

The new unsold page doesn't function on my phone. Hit revise, and an overlay pops up, but is cut off and unusable. Viewing the unsold page from my phone is pointless now (since I can't relist from it) unless I fire up another browser (Edge) which I despise. (Late 2016 Windows 10 Smartphone)

So now I have to use 2 browsers minimum on both my phone and desktop to perform simple eBay functions. Even if I switch to a browser in which it works, I still have to look at it. I might be able to fix some of the appearance (reduce thumbnail sizes, reformat, etc) with Stylish CSS if I want to spend a week figuring out what they did, hunting down selectors,  and writing 500 lines of rules, but I'm getting tired of the changes.

Why can't they just leave things alone?

Ebay wants everyone to have a store and use GTC so they have guaranteed income.

If what you sell does not fit their mold (not what works for you) you can go away.

In the not too distant future, they will tell you what you can list, how to list it, what to charge, and pay extra for the privilege.

If sellers don't fit, Ebay deos not need or want them on the site.

 Abysmal Sell Through x Millions of Sellers = Over Cluttered Site and Maybe Time to Weed Out Some Items

Where is the place to switch back to classic view? I can find nothing of the sort anywhere.

Also, everytime I revisit the unsold page now, the view reverts back to "not relisted yet" no matter how many times I change the filter to "all". The old layout respected and maintained the settings. This "improvement" does not.

I frantically searched around so quickly to find a way out that I'm not entirely postive, but I think it was in the upper right area.  When I clicked switch to classic there was another screen that popped up asking if I was sure (or something like that).

Don't you love how eBay works so hard to make sellers lives so miserable, instead of fixing all the glitches and bugs that plague the site.

I just went back to my ebay after answering your question and guess what---yes, it was back---like a bad penny.   So I guess I will be faced with this daily now.  The switch to classic was definitely on the right about 2/3rds of the way up.

My "Unsold" page changed last night, and it is much worse than what anyone else has described.

First of all,  there is no option for Classic View. Second, I can select multiple items using the check boxes, but when I do, the only action button available is "Delete". There is no "Relist" or "Sell similar",  the two actions I use most often.

I found a "?" button towards the upper right, which brought up a small FAQ box. One of the questions was "How do I relist multiple items?" The answer was that advanced features such as this can be accessed from the Seller Hub.

So, it appears that they're trying to dumb-down the standard Unsold page.

I can do what I want from Seller Hub without any major disadvantages, so I guess I won't be using the Unsold page for anything anymore.

What a waste of time, I can only relist one at a time, call ebay last night and told me there was no work around, today "click switch to classic" was there, clicked it and didn't work, they want me to switch over to seller hub to relist and then opt out. WHY would I want to do that, why even change it, there was nothing wrong with it. Ebay's just forcing seller to sign on the "seller hub". anyone gets the true work around let me know, I won't be relisting until they fix it

[arisdisc]

Glad you all agree with me. I am not going to use Seller Hub either. Period.
And I don't see a 'switch to classic' option anywhere.

I had 200 items to relist last night, but wrote the original post and went to bed instead.
Like you, I'm waiting to go back to original view before I do anything else.

Why not use seller hub ?
