I am listing 2 pocket knives one is a rubber handle one is a stainless steel handle I used to be able to add in a list bar these 2 variations am I missing something. The new selling page has lots of issues. I try to preview my listing and then I lose the whole page completely. I then have to go back to drafts to list it. This is so frustrating and there is no way to get back to the old selling page which was simple safe and comfortable to use. At least the last update allowed us to stay on or go back to the previous version. I hate change especially when it doesn't work properly.

took me 25 minutes to list a 5-minute listing. I too got sucked into the black hole when doing preview but of course it was magically in my drafts.

Believe it or not after tweaking, clicking guessing cussing I did find a way to get some variations on. This was off a sell similar item. I couldn't begin to tell you how I did it.

Photos, really, I do not have to even talk about it, I almost want to vomit. Their use to be an autofix button, but NOOOO! The do have a back ground button, works great except it chops of half the image at times.

I am guessing my settings are correct about only USA shipping. It says I exclude some USA places but no reference to out of the USA, well, who cares, just wing it....

Shall we talk about the joke of catagories...not, post to long and I have to go watch my Chicago Bears who have a product similar to eBay it seems. Prove me wrong, da Bears...

Thanks, I am glad it wasn't just me. It is getting easier but I feel like I am leaving something out every time I list something now. Have a good one. Tracy

@swankme12 That is a valid concern- I feel the same way... like something is missing every time i list. Nothing is obvious and its all in popup boxes so you cant easily glance at the page and proofread.

I have just given up after a year of this tool and just ignore half of the fields now. I list knowing that there is wrong item specifics but i just dont care anymore- ebay designed the tool to be overly complicated and confusing to use of a desktop so i figure that they dont care either.

The shame of it is that the search engine relies more heavily on item specific and the listing tool makes it harder to add them- left hand does not know what the right hand is doing.... no doubt contributing to the fact that the search results have been getting worse and worse every year
