Yet...Another....Idiotic change...CSV train wreck.

I keep all of my sales records in Excel. So I go to download my shirt sale and lo and behold, ebay completely changed the results format of the Excel CSV file. Which means, now I have to go into 6 months of reports and change the dang format to the new one. Only problem is, the new format has 65 words on one single line! So I have to scroll and scroll just to get to the price. 

 

Is there any way to go back to the old format? The new one is a train-wreck. What's wrong with this company. Why do they keep changing things every freaking day?

Here are the headers they insert into the spreadsheet. 133 words not including spaces on a single line. Can you imagine trying to look at this on a laptop screen. I have a 32" monitor and it STILL isn't long enough for all of this crud.

There's a way in Excel to convert text to columns, but there has to be something in-between the sets of info, like a comma, in order to do it.

 

and what a pain in the butt to have to do that!
