THE END OF CLASSIC VIEW.

[ricardos.records]

I wonder do the corporate heads of Ebay just sit around and think of ways they can make it harder & harder to sell. I swear there hasn't been one change since Meg Whitman left that is any good.

 What was it about two years ago when they went to the seller hub page. Judging by the discussion boards & people I know, most hated it. But at least with a couple extra clicks * View My Ebay Selling * I could still see my 'classic seller page.'... How many watchers. How many bids. 300 to 400 items on two pages. And I used the seller hub because I had too, and eventually got used to it. But always the first thing was to check my Classic Seller Page.

So I get on ebay today and lo & behold .. no more classic view. This horrible format is being rammed down my throat. Why can't I have the Classic Page if I want it. Why am I forced to work with this terrible seller hub. Now I have to click * View My Ebay Selling * .. than scroll down past my orders .. and I get to my listed items. 5 to a page ... I have to scroll sideways to see everything and there is 77 pages with my 375 listings. 

So the question again becomes who is making these incredibly stupid decisions. Do they ever even sell on ebay?  How can anyone in their right mind think this complicated, aesthetically ugly, time wasting format is better. There was nothing wrong with the 'classic view' two years ago. And there was nothing wrong with it yesterday. But everything is wrong with this page. Man what I wouldn't give to have a face to face with the heads of this company. I said it before and I'll say it again. This is the worst run large business in the world. Why can't I at least have the option to see classic view.. What harm is there in that?

Seller Flub is the worst.  The last good change that eBay made was when they eliminated having to use HTML in making a listing.  The information on Seller Flub is mostly useless and doesn't fit on my computer screen.  Every change that their code writers make requires more steps in getting items listed.  KISS  (for those who don't know this acronym:  Keep it Simple, Stupid).  Let's get back to the classic view!

Add me to the list of ebay customers ( yes ebay, sellers are your customers too ) who absolutely HATE this view. Ebay obviously doesn't read the seller input.. Wonder how many of us will have to move off ebay and close our accounts before they listen. It's an F'n shame over-paid, over-privileged A-type personalities who want to be the next Amazon don't realize there's already an Amazon that most ebay sellers can't and won't deal with.

Was there even an email message about a coming change. I haven't been on the board lately, but wouldn't it be nice to send an email about changes and the reasons for it.  Just don't change things with no warning. I get tons of useless emails from ebay suggesting I buy something or I should lower my prices or add more item specifics. A message telling me that things are going to suck on 3/22/21 would have helped out a lot.  Just saying!!

I would like to join the REVOLT please. The new seller page is worse than awful......  anyone listening there at eBay?,,,,, hello,,,, hello,,,,,, helloooo?

Just take some "time away" and see how it plays out. I did that last year doing the postal crisis.

I hate seller hub.

I hate managed payments.

I'm a small-scale seller. I have only about a dozen items up at a time. So the hub is major overkill. The classic view had everything that was useful to me available at a glance. 

After 20 years on eBay where I was generally satisfied, the last 6 months and their changes have soured my opinion.

I hope eBay reconsiders some of its recent poor decisions. I'm pretty close to jumping ship.

I WANT CLASSIC BASIC VIEW BACK,  I AM SO TIRED OF THEM TRYING TO MAKE EBAY BETTER, I DONT USE MANAGED PAYMENTS , OR SELLER HUB EITHER .... NOW I HAVE TO DELETE ALL MY  ITEMS FOR SALE ,ONE AT A TIME AND REMIND THEM I AM NOT A ROBOT..

[vintage632john]

Agree with you 100% ...

"Classic" my ebay selling is the most used page on eBay. By far the easiest way to conduct our business... everyone needs to Not accept this!! Be relentless in making it know to eBay that we want classic view back. Why not give us the option?  All the loyal sellers who've supported eBay for years should have choice.  Call , go to comment survey and post on community page. This is no way to run a business.

ALL I CAN SUGGEST IS EVERYONE  WHO HATES THIS SELLER HUB, AND THAT IS JUST ABOUT EVERYONE, WRITE A POST & COMPLAIN ... ALSO CALL AND REGISTER YOUR DISAPPOINTMENT .. MAYBE JUST MAYBE IT WILL GET THROUGH TO THESE IMBECILES  ...

In a selling platform, I would like to see that I'm logged in, what I'm selling, what I've sold, a notifications icon, and a search bar. Navigation links, and drop down menus are great, if you want to go somewhere else. I don't really want to start "somewhere else".

I wish they had something like CLASSIC VIEW!

I am p-ssed. Maybe the final straw. Been thinking about other venues and this may do it.

Already shut down my other account. I am elderly and just don't have the patience to start learning a whole new system. 😟

Oh sweetie...this ain't about you being old...it's about this format being S-T-U-P-I-D!!!

I have been an atheist for 50 years but after dealing with the new sellers format page I now believe the devil exists and certainly am praying to God to get the classic seller's format page back. Some ex of **bleep** stuff--every time I click on tracking number to see status of customer's package, I get a huge window, so big I need to scroll down my screen to click to close the window--seems simple, right?--a task my brother said I was being fussy about---but try doing that 100 times in a day--I sell lots of stuff--bottom line it slows me down, just one example of a lot of problems with this new setup.

After spending 40+ years in Information Systems I have seen many I.S. Development departments exactly like those at Ebay.  It is commonly called 'Job Security'.  The development department sees a need to constantly be changing things.  They then have a false feeling of security.
