It is my hope that Ebay will reconsider this change and give us back the old format. We are far more efficient and better off being able to see our ship by dates. I do respect that Ebay wants us shipping as fast as possible. But your seller's want this too. We don't need Ebay making a change like this to inspire us to do better. Anyone that sells on a regular basis knows that getting shipments out quickly is a smart business process.

This is one of the times I agree with @mam98031
Why would eBay not show this much needed information?
Is this another software issue/glitch or was this a planned system update?
Not EVERYTHING is a glitch. As I explained earlier this is an enhancement. Please don't try to make this something that it is not. It doesn't help us to get the proper attention on the matter.
Interesting. I just went to look at my items awaiting shipment. And the newest sale shows the date to ship by. The others show "ready to ship". Puzzling.

I think this is an intentional change that eBay is trying to make. But they aren't sure what to do yet so they are constantly changing it up... let's try this, no let's try that, how about we try this, or how about we try that?
Seems like the guy (or guys, since I'm pretty sure it's more than one person's finger on that trigger) cannot decide on or agree to an actual decision and are just flip flopping all over the place on how to implement this "ship by" status. Get your stuff together guys, THEN execute. You are embarrassing yourselves.
There is clearly someone working behind this and not just caused by a "computer".

Well, that didn't take long ... back to disagreeing. 
Most glitches are actually due to poor software coding and poorly implanted system integration.
This is not an "enhancement" in any way. If this was a planned change, this should be called a "degradation."
Since we don't know yet if this was planned or unplanned, it's hard to say what it is, except that it's detrimental to sellers.

Yes, eBay is like a puzzle ... with many pieces missing.

You are assuming that it is not displaying as the change in the program had intended. To me it does not appear to be that at all. Since you aren't use to using the SH, it may not be a change you would notice. But for those of us that use it on a regular basis, the page has changed. So I believe the program is functioning as intended, some of us just don't like it.
It isn't a big deal. We will bring it to Ebay's attention and hopefully they will return it to what it was before. This stuff happens off and on and it doesn't have to be an ordeal to get through.
FYI as I stated in my earlier post, there were / are other changes in the screen as well. It is an update, some good, some I personally don't like. I can't say it is bad because some seller may very well like it and that isn't a problem.

Not as many as you make there out to be. There are millions of sellers that do just fine on this site. Yes we have issues far too often. But few are business ending events. GTC as a business ending event for some sellers. That kind of change does not happen often, thank goodness.
