Anyway to get the old one back?

Click on the 3 dots in the upper-right corner of the new listing form.

You can try this,

https://www.ebay.com/mys/overview

The links to various selling pages are on the left side under "Selling". I open each page (Sold, Active, Scheduled, etc.) in a new tab and just navigate between tabs. Works for me. Try it. You might like it.

BTW, I haven't used an eBay listing page in years. I just bring up a closed or current listing and use "Sell similar", editing the item to match the parameters of the new listing. No fiddling with constantly-changing eBay listing pages. The listing also gets a new item number and the "New listing" tag when posted. HTH.

I tried it and bailed right away, I did not see a way to easily pull up photos from my pc. It may be great if you list from a phone

I'm really concerned about the new listing tool. It loads and loads and so many additional mouse clicks. The old way is so much faster! I"m talking about web version. I hope ebay is listening. The image preview and editor and how it goes to the next picture just loads and loads and is not snappy... I can go on. Been using a couple weeks and I'm running back to the old. The old just needed very minor improvements.

For now you can go back... but just saw today they are making it the default soon. Really not happy to be forced to use it.

I can create 2-3 times as many listings in the same amount of time with the current desktop tool. Plus my mouse is wearing out from the constant constant scrolling and clicking. All attempts to get some traction on fixing the slowdown and allowing direct entry on the new tool have failed. Tried on all fronts. eBay is just not listening - somehow they have convinced themselves that having it be the same all all devices is a good thing. Really it is a lazy short sighted excuse.

The new listing form is a real pain on my slow DSL connection. I was able to get back to the old form but yesterday when I decided to make up some new templates the old form would not save them again. The same problem they claimed they had fixed.

Where did you see that it would soon be the default? I've been trying to keep up with it but eBay is releasing so much important information in their video-only format (which I also can't watch because of my slow DSL connection ... all I get on their videos is buffering buffering then a few minutes of video and then buffering buffering).

That is right, I can create more listings with old faster version. The new one is unacceptable

Why would you waste time and resources on changing something that works perfectly.

This new tool is uncalled for, unnecessary and worthless.

I do not want to use it now or ever.

eBay excels at fixing what ain’t broken.

FWIW, I wrote up the following comments on the new form and posted them to the Technical Issues group last night:

Last weekend I was creating a listing... This particular type listing usually gets us some good sales. Had a few hours into doing it. 12 pictures and details written down in the details about each picture. After listing it I went to view it ... No where to be found ... After lots of efforts I never did find the listing. It just vanished
This morning I tried to update a few listings. they are now gone?

I am no longer able to function. Anyone else going thru this?

I have been using the new form to get used to it before it becomes mandatory. It does take me longer, but as I get used to it, I am getting better. I do think the photo editing is better. One thing that is harder is establishing how many pieces are in "1" item, like a set of plates. It used to be on the main form, and now you have to dig for it.

I did find that once I was in the new tool, if I tried to Sell Similar, the new form came up unless I hit the 3 dots and changed it back.

Tried uploading some photos yesterday but kept getting "Invalid Format" error. Turns out TIFF files are no longer a valid format. Now have 150 images I have to convert to JPEG.

I list 50 items a week and list them 3 weeks ahead so I can get the start times the way I want them. I start with a previous listing and modify it. With the new tool there is no way to do scheduled listings. The only available option is auction duration.

Typical 21st century corporate mind-set. If it ain't broke then break it.
