You changed the Manage Active Listing pages and made them unworkable. It has made me stop listing. I can't stand how ignorant you are, and why ebay execs allow you to make the backend worse EVERY. SINGLE. WAY.
There was NO REASON to update anything on the seller pages. Everything makes our job harder.
Finally, marketing. If you want to buy something online, what is the first store to pop up? Amazon. What almost never shows up? Ebay. Why? Because ebay won't let Google scrape anything. Amazon lets Google scrape everything.
All these years, all this experience, and ebay still hides all the listings. Honestly, I'm amazed when I sell anything at all. I think it's accidental, that anyone finds anything here. When will ebay move into this century of e-commerce?
Please, someone else add to this list!

Apparently not everyone has that new "improved" page; mine still looks like it has for awhile now. Just curious, does your page still have a "Customize" link on it? If so, I'm wondering if there might be some columns that aren't checked by default in the new version that you could check to bring back those missing columns (like "Time Left")?

Exactly, @packratville. There is the option to customize the layout of the page. See post #22 in this thread: https://community.ebay.com/t5/Selling/New-Seller-Pro-Active-Listings-dashboard/m-p/28467104#M1203539 for more info.

Agree with Rat....... I'm assuming poster is talking about pages in Seller Hub...........I know there have been changes to Selling Manager that people don't like. I still have Time left for instance.......

That's good Customize is still available in the new version. I still have the old I guess, but after reading so many posts about all the changes I'm always afraid of what I might find at any given moment.

"Coders" and "Engineers" do not lay out the screens, determine which features are present, or decide what data is shown to the user.
In a company the size of eBay, that work is done by Business Analysts and UX Designers.

No, it's not the Seller Hub. The Seller Hub allows you to sort listings, and one of the sort options is "Time left." You can also sort by number of watchers.

I wish I had an explanation for why my 2 name have different layouts, but I can only suggest that ebay is experimenting on our dime. But both have changed - neither has the layout of 2 years ago. Both are WORSE.
Live beta testing and phased roll outs. It's pretty much how eBay has always done everything.
Other sites do limited live beta testing during development, then rigorously test and de-bug the final product before swithing over everyone at once. eBay beta tests dozens of different things all at the same time, rarely ever has a final product, and does the de-bugging live on the site.
There's a funny cartoon strip about when the Marketing Dept. and MBA's start directing the Engineering Dept., and much of it is true, but it's less funny when that company is your vendor.

Of all the bad design, the 2 that kill me every day are the missing Time Left column - I literally don't know when the end is coming - and the fact that Titles no longer change color to purple when you view the actual listing. Visited links are supposed to change color!! Think of Google!! I have no idea if I have already linked it, fixed it, sent it to Pinterest, nothing. THAT is basic coding - css!!!!
It's so disappointing when change does not make things better, IMO.
