eBay

You know what this is about. We, the sellers, demand an option to retain our Classic View.

#eBayBringBackClassicView

I've spent the entire morning trying to get my old view instead of completing my sales/offers etc, i.e. making eBay money. They have completely stifled my productivity and ability to MAKE THEM MONEY!!! LOL

What is wrong with them? They really need better people working for this company. I for one, CAN NOT WAIT, for an "eBay alternative" to blow these guys out of the water.

One of the worst employers I've ever worked for. If they were my real job, I would have walked out years ago.

I can't believe how they change things & don't give any option to opt out and keep it the old way. I am a paying customer/employee and shouldn't be treated like this. Can't wait for an eBay alternative!

When people get used to something it's very hard to change. Keeping things the same helps performance and productivity. Change slows down production. Every time they change, they push me further away from selling.

God help us.

On March 22, I also lost my classic view page. After some calls, I learned that Ebay no longer is supporting the classic view page. I feel like I have lost a good friend. Like you say, everything was on one page, all the information that I needed; all I had to do was to scroll down the page. I knew exactly what my account status regarding my customers was in just a few seconds. Now, I have been left with a big mess, go here for this, go there for that. Ebay has been very good to me over the years, great format and very helpful agents. I cannot understand why they have taken this path. The only thing I know for sure is that my interest in listing new items has decreased. Very sad situation.

Sometimes it feels like I must be the smartest person out there; knowing that can't possibly be true, I get on here and see what others of you think. Glad you are all out there! I have been selling on ebay for 25 yrs~so they say~multiple id's. In those years I have seen too many changes but have adapted. I'm not sure if it's the way my (creative right) brain functions, whether it's my unique-to-me eyesight, or just plain stubbornness, but I also can no longer sell without my Classic view page. It was so easy: list, sell, get paid, ship out. Boom, easy. My self-employment. I don't need all this other 'hub' stuff. I don't pay any attention to any of it and never have. Good for others, not good for me. We are all unique in our needs/wants. I see this as a 'next generation' deal. The only rational reason for restructuring all this is to accommodate the younger generation. My feelings are if that's what the younger generation needs for lay-outs, we are in a ton of trouble with their inability to think constructively. In this horrible time where the majority of us have less money to survive~literally, it was a very poor calculation on the administration employed by ebay. Literally pushing people away from their site. Poor timing, poor choices poor everything. It will affect their bottom-line. It is a generation-change. I for one, will have to fade-away. Next act: massive data breach/hack and the subsequent millions of lawsuits filed against ebay. That's a lot of information that a hacker is privy to by invading bank accounts. Could there be Global fall-out? All of the industries associated with banking. etc etc etc. I don't foresee it being pretty but with all their money, they will likely survive whereas a lot of us may not.

Good luck in your quest - seriously.

I think that complaints, suggestions, and rants can be useful, but I find so many problems with your assessment and approach.

1. Sellers are not eBay employees.
2. If you are an employee, follow the directives of your employer.

3. Customers have no place in demanding changes.
4. Things change - it is inevitable. If you can’t learn to adapt to a formatting change and a couple of mouse clicks, then, truly, God help us.
