Mentioned in my post of Seller Check In Highlights from about 6 weeks ago:
Chuck [Van Pelt] shared sneak preview screenshots of upcoming changes to the Seller Hub Orders page and Active Listings page surrounding search/filter navigation on Active listings, features to more easily access repeat buyer history on Orders, and more. I strongly encourage everybody to watch their networking session.
Here's that video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZeU_ynzUAY
I heard from a seller that has the new view today, at least for Active listings. I forgot to ask him about the Orders page. (In the video I loved what eBay did with repeat buyers on the Orders page.)
With my buddy's permission I'm posting screenshots from his new Active Listings view compared to the old view which most of us are still seeing. Green line is the divider. Top = current soon to be old view | Bottom = new view
Disclaimer: These images are from different computers and browsers, probably with different zoom settings, so don't assume that because the bottom one looks so tiny compared to the top that it actually is. I'm showing the comparison so you can see the changes in function and how everything is in a slightly different place under a more compact view with new filter buttons.
To make matters even worse kyle@ebay , eBay has removed the useful "Status" filter where I could quickly filter out of stock listings, and replaced it with "listings with watchers."
Who gives a bleep about the number of listings with watchers? I have listings that sell out of my entire stock in a matter of days or weeks that never had a single watcher. Watchers mean nothing. I think most of my watchers and followers are competitors because everyone and their mama steals my listing photos, my hours of hard work. 😡
On a laptop view it's defaulting 2 buttons I don't need - send offers eligible and listings with watchers.
They are hiding the most important buttons behind all filters which are "categories" and now they are hiding the also-important "status."
I am so fed up with this.
Well, I just got rolled into this the other day & b/c I've been gone on & off for the last few months, this is the first time I'm seeing this thread. I can't believe no one has mentioned it, but the first thing I noticed, besides how ugly it is & that so much functionality has disappeared or been hidden (yet again), is that my #1 most used Filter is GONE. It's not hidden, it's completely gone - Handling Time is gone. I've confirmed this is an intentional change. They took away the functionality & have no other way to do it unless you want to use Bus Policies. I used this constantly b/c we get snowstorms all winter & so I change my handling time with each snow storm. Since I also send a lot of SIO's, I'm now locked out of editing those for 4 days. This wreaks havoc with the way I run my business! I don't understand how you take away functionality with no warning & no valid reason! They could easily put it back under the All Filters. And no, you cannot use Time Away instead b/c Time Away doesn't function with SIO's.
This is the 3rd or 4th recent redesign that has made everyday functioning MUCH more time consuming, click heavy & convoluted. All functions that used to be simple & worked well, but have now been 'redesigned' to be a lot more laborious & time consuming. Every single one has added additional clicks & taken away functionality that worked great. This is unnacceptable! As is trying to make everything on the website look like a phone app. PC users want PC functionality & most eBay sellers actually run their business on the PC! The app already exists for those who want functionality on their phone. I do use the app, but not for very much, it's too cumbersome to do anything with the tiny screen & print.
devon@ebay Can you please pass along that the Handling Time Filter being removed is ridiculous when there's no other way to do the same thing & some of us use it ALL THE TIME! I have notifiied certain people, but should probably do this the official way too. Thanks!
@valueaddedresource thought you'd like to know that they removed this functionality with no warning & no other way to do it. It was my #1 most used filter except for the one for Sending Offfers. I'm so frustrated with these constant changes that only make things worse & more cumbersome! Esp in the 4th quarter!
