too fancy while simplistic interface: please reconsider desktop

[dchmelik]

I prefer older desktop-oriented interfaces, not touchscreen-oriented (though I additionally have desktop touchscreen to do graphics/art, but you know what I mean).  Lately seller interface changed to  newer style including simplified/smaller areas, maybe larger text with more space in-between, and animations.  I can understand if you want pad/tab(let)/telephone PC users to be able to use, but they have 'applications' anyway, so can you please reconsider desktop users and at least allow disabling all animation by setting them to instant?  I'm a fast graphical user interface (GUI) user so animations can be a major waste of time for me.  Being unable to press button corners that have been cut off is also a major such new annoyance, and if you can't press <ENTER|RETURN> to submit forms (maybe can but designers of such new interfaces sometimes don't know you can do that and aren't up to par with computer programming/science standards & traditions).

I have used by desktop or laptop in all the years I've been on Ebay.  I do not use touchscreen.  I seem to get along with the screens.  However I know they have been changing a lot lately.  And since these changes that are happening are being rolled out, we all won't see them at the same time.

For me, I've made it much easier on myself by setting up Templates for each category I sell in.  It makes life much easier to create new listings.  At least for me it does.

But I get it.  For casual sellers such as yourself, it makes it very hard when every time to come to sell something there have been lots of changes.  😍

@dchmelik  I agree with you 100%.  Years ago eBay had the idea to unify the eBay experience across mobile phone, tablet and desktop. I'm not a fan at all. I prefer the idea of making it the best experience for EACH platform. That is what excellence is. eBay choose to dumb down the desktop experience to a mobile version and it has shown. It's awful. Wasted space wasted time and effort.... All the advantages of a larger screen, or multiple screens, a keyboard, and generally much better efficiency..... Are negated on eBay desktop now, in fact often times far worse than on a phone app.   Phones are phones and desktops are desktops. You should be able to do more and faster on a desktop but now it's a struggle against bad design. But I guess that is the wave of the future... Inefficiency at the expense of what looks nice I guess
