Opting out of the New Sold Page???????????????????????????? Anyone?

[mr_lincoln]

The space wasting scroll happy Techs  are at it again ... just got dumped in to the New Sold page and there is 1) no Tell us what you think link so I can expound on how ridiculous it is and 2) no Go back to Classic view link to get out of it .... I tried going back to the old format URL to no avail.

This is just simply stupid how they keep wasting space and time of course with all the scrolling and I bet you I will find it is missing some key item that the old format had ... I am so ticked right now, I was checking to see what item sold and BANG ... new page ... did not even bother seeing what sold, this kind of thing really takes the fun out of it that's for sure.

I need a 52" flat screen and 25% resolution on this new format to see what I used to see on my 17.4 laptop screen at 125% ... I see part of one sold item and previously numerous sold items on one page ... who in their right mind is doing this?  Take those stinking Crayons away from the designers and give them their slide rules back.

Does ANYONE know how to get back to the Classic view on the Sold Page???  I hate every one of these new page wasting formats they come up with ... hope I am around for The Weekly Chat tomorrow (but knowing them it will nto be General Topics so they don't have to put up with a bunch of us pointing out another bonehead page design ... sorry, but I am torqued and trying to keep this as level headed as possible but am excercising some real restraint here  ... )

Sorry the old links don't work for you.

On the other hand, with a couple of adblock rules you can turn this:

into this:

I did that by using the AdBlock extension for Firefox to block the large banner at the top of the page, and the two smaller banners just above the item list.

If you install AdBlock for your browser, you might be able to add these two rules to your custom filters and get the same effect without having to go through the element-hiding process:

www.ebay.com##DIV[class="scandalAds"]
www.ebay.com##DIV[class="me-banner-wrapper"]

I'm not entirely sure that will work, since I already had some filters in place. I suppose I could try using another browser and see if the rules produce the same result. I just did a quick check using Opera, and those rules seemed to work without causing any noticeable side effects.

It's possible to eliminate more unused space, but the rules may affect other eBay pages. If you notice any important missing menus or links, you can always pause AdBlock, or set to not run on a particular page, or undo all blocks for a particular domain.

Does this old page work for you?

If you really are stuck with the new page, it should be possible to find a way to eliminate the wasted space with an ad blocker, using the element hiding capability. It may take some trial and error to get it right, but if you spend a lot of time looking at that page, it may be worth it.

Nope, that goes to the New Abomination Page ... I tried getting the URL off another account here that has not be shoved in to the new page ... same result.

The page designers are right out of the Dick and Jane Reader era:

See Dick run.

See Jane skip.

See Spot bark.

See Mr Lincoln pull his hair out because of another absolutely ridiculous eBay Page design.

See Dick laugh.

See Jane cry.

See Spot bite Puff.

AND notice the transaction page is missing too! I rely on that! 

Don't these people have anything better to do than mess with the lives and livelihoods of innocent people? Where is the SCRUPLES? The COMMON SENSE? 

[membersinceaug2001]

Nope, that link still goes to the new baby-apple looking page.

[membersinceaug2001]

Nooooooooooooooo!!!

This stupid Baby-Apple looking page is everywhere now!

Paypal looks terrible with it.  Everything is unprofessional looking.

Thanks for the link, that was helpful.  I use the Seller Hub, so I hadn't seen this.

[berserkerplanet]

They got me too.

(I'm really starting to get seriously **bleep** off at this **bleep**, and started having thoughts about just abandoning eBay entirely after 18 years here.)

That page suffers from the same "We're making eBay easier" modal dialog that pops up the first time you visit the page and blocks access to the page until dismissed properly, which it would not do in Firefox 3.6.24 or Firefox 31. As before with the Active selling issue that occurred a while ago, once dismissed it sets a flag in your account that dismisses the dialog permanently in any browser you use, and I was able to get it to go away in Firefox 52.

Anyone else that gets stuck with that popup dialog should try other browsers or devices to dismiss it once and for all. If nothing you have works, call eBay CS and make them do it (they can access your account, pull up your Sold page logged in as you, and dismiss it with their browser).

This page still works for the moment:
     https://my.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MyEbayBeta&CurrentPage=MyeBayNextAllSelling

If not using it for active selling, one could move the Sold section to the top position and it would pretty much be the old sold page.

Alternatively, the following bookmarklet will jump to the sold section on that page from wherever you are on the page without interminable scrolling:

javaXscript:(function(){document.getElementById('wholeDiv241').scrollIntoView(true);})();

As per usual, copy the above code to the clipboard, paste in a new bookmark on browser bookmarks toolbar (or in bookmarks ), paste copied code into bookmark location field, remove the X from the word javaXscript at beginning of the pasted code in the new bookmark (because these forums), name it ScrollToSold (or whatever), and good to go.

If 'wholeDiv242' is replaced with:

'wholeDiv315'   then    Active listings  section is the target

'wholeDiv316'   then   Unsold   listings section is the target

'wholeDiv354'  then   Selling Reminders  section is the target

'wholeDiv503'  then   Returns  section is the target

'wholeDiv314'   then   Scheduled  section is the target

'wholeDiv415'  then   Saved Drafts  section is the target

If 'true' is replaced with 'false' it scrolls to the bottom of the element instead of the top (good shortcut for going to bottom of Active listings when you have a lot instead of scrolling or aging down a lot.

One could create different bookmarklets for quick navigation around that one huge summary page using those.

Another alternative is this URL that can be save as a regular bookmark which will load that My eBay Summary page and scroll to the top of the Sold section directly:

   https://my.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MyEbayBeta&CurrentPage=MyeBayNextAllSelling#wholeDiv241

as above, the "wholeDivNNN' value can be changed to jump to your preferred section. Multiple bookmarks for different sections could be used.

Will be looking for ways to get back to the classic sold page but doubtful will have any success.

You're not a seller -  probably, what's why you see an old design (or maybe it's an usual eBay bug - they have a lot of 'em!). On my account your link forwarded to the new awful "design" page 😞

I'm a seller and still see the old page from that link......

[varebelrose]

I was very PO'ed to wake up to this new sold page this morning. Aside from the wasted space and the cartoon-looking oversized graphics, there is a LOT of missing information on that new sold page. I don't want or have any desire to use seller hub; I have tried and there is just nothing there that I need aside from a link to unsolds so I can bulk relist them, (another feature they took away from the other pages). Its getting very frustrating to face constant changes that remove functionality and complicate things. I could understand if they actually were fixing or improving things, but they seem to make changes just for the sake of changing things, and always make it worse or harder to use.

YMMV.

Hi, Southern. Thanks for that link. A box came up asking me for comments. I exed out of it. BUT I just sold something yesterday at 2pm my time. Printed out ebay label this morning. Pick up scheduled for tomorrow, 2/21. YET ON THIS NEW SOLD PAGE IT SAYS SHIPPED. It has not shipped. Just pure craziness.

[shinwell_johnson]

OK, I found a solution to this mess - sort of.  Some of us apparently cannot revert back to the original "Sold" page, but we CAN get back the "Sold" layout we are familiar with - just on a different page.

1. Go to My eBay

2. Make sure "SUMMARY" is highlighted on the left, if it isn't, click on it

3. Hover over "ACTIVITY", then select "SELL" from the popup menu

4. Confirm the link at the top of the page says "Switch to New Selling Overview", if it does, skip step 5 and go right to step 6.

5. If the link at the top of the page reads "Switch to Classic View", CLICK IT.

6. Scroll down the page, find the "SOLD" table you know & love, and use the little arrows in the top right corner of the header to bring that "SOLD" table up to the top of the page (or wherever you like it).

7. Bookmark your new "SOLD" page and delete the old bookmark.

I hope this helps.

[varebelrose]

Yes, that works, but its a matter of time I suspect, before they also do away with the classic all selling page. Hopefully it will be awhile.

ymmv.

[goodluckselling]

Use the Seller Hub.  Everything is much better in the hub! 

Good Luck Selling!

I still have it on this id, but I don't sell on this id...is this something the will gradually roll out for all sellers? Opting in to the seller hub would probably be a good idea for you @mr_lincoln . It isn't actually as bad as everyone makes it sound. 😉
