Even during short spells when my internet was down due to hurricanes, etc. I would take my laptop somewhere with wifi. OR if so much of Mobile had power outages that I had no choice but to use my phone, I would go to the full website on the internet (cell data) and make my listings there. Yes I'd have to pinch in and out but at least getting to stay on the same page was better than not.
And I'm not an anti-app purist mind you; I think it is fine for PASSIVE stuff like checking my account, checking over my listings, even shopping if I'm stuck sitting in a waiting room or something. And I do love me some "CHING" notification sound, telling me I sold something. But for creating listings, the app format is beyond stupid. One way this is already guiding my decisions: while out sourcing yesterday, I found myself unconsciously drawn to things I could "sell similar" (as in not having to change many Item Specifics, let alone start a whole new listing with a category I don't already have anything in, therefore a fully blank sea of I.S.'s to fill in). I'm still on 'Classic' listing but knowing I'll be involuntarily switched any day now, this narrowing of my business portfolio is how I'm "getting used to" this clusterF ahead of time. All we should have to think about is 'how much profit might this item fetch?' 'How likely would a return be?' 'How hard/expensive would it be to ship?' NOT 'Do I really want the prolonged misery of listing it?'
