New listing "experience" awful

Summary: La discusión gira en torno a las frustraciones de varios vendedores respecto a las nuevas actualizaciones en la plataforma de eBay, que introdujo cambios en el diseño de las listas de productos. aramatic critica los cambios como confusos y restrictivos, con limitaciones en la personalización de fuentes y colores. brettjet38 comparte una experiencia similar, destacando la dificultad para trabajar con el nuevo diseño y la opción de volver al modo clásico que resultó ser más eficiente. watermelonmemories2005 añade que estos cambios afectaron su capacidad de gestionar su tienda debido a problemas de salud, mencionando la eliminación automática de listados antiguos y la imposibilidad de encontrar una alternativa viable desde que dejaron de usar Turbo Lister. Todos concuerdan en que las actualizaciones les han complicado innecesariamente la venta de productos en eBay.

Well, they had to go and give us a new "experience", and of course it's a nuisance... long-winded, at times confusing, and restrictive. Yet another "fresh new look" with text spread as sparsely as possible in a sea of white and lots of little boxes that generate other little boxes, just to make the "experience" as time-consuming as possible. And nice little touches like "GMT-4" for "Eastern Daylight Time". So helpful. And let's not have sellers maintaining a familiar listing appearance that they've built up. Font and colour choices are now severely limited, with a dreary colour palette that won't even let you choose bright red. Of course the people who design these new "experiences" think they've done a wonderful job. But they're not the people who have to use their creations.

I posted this last week but it works well here also.

...so I went to revise one of my listings this fine morning, here in Montreal.

And I found myself face to face with that (already being battered and bruised) Listing layout, tool, mess (item specifics anyone).

I got as far as looking at the "simplified" item specifics...

...I stopped, saw those 3 dots, clicked, and found the "Switch Back to Classic Mode" and did so IMMEDIATELY.

They asked for FEEDBACK so I gladly obliged "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS MESS!"

I logged back in and revised the listing I wanted to do initially, in 5 seconds.

Simplified my ...

eBay and their updates, what a joke!

and here we are, basically all saying the same thing!

What the hell does eBay "creatives" smoke, because it's certainly not Canadian grown...

I had a very harsh year having added narcolepsy to my "health" list. I can sleep for 2 days. Truly feels like I am drugged. Cats love it when I dump a drink on them! - so anyways I couldn't keep up with eBay business and ALL the changes they keep asking for. The latest, the missing "item specifics"- So they got tired of telling me to add the changes and just took down all my active listings until I complied! I don't even know how long my store was empty b4 I noticed. I had over 200 listings ( down from 650 i my haydays !) I couldn't find any way to bulk add these things - like -Men's Dept - And of course all new format to figure out also where the boxes are quickly. They moved the listings to "unsold" - was taking me forever to get a bunch of them re-listed a week. I managed to get 72 back up, right b4 Christmas . Thanks for giving me empty shelves at the best selling period.--So if you guessed that they didn't remove the 90 day storage period b4 auto deleting, then you are correct. I am just crushed. I have amazing newly acquired items to get listed and NOW I have over 130 listings to haul out, re-weigh etc etc and get back up again. It's time to get off of this world, ,Everything shouldn't be such a struggle to earn $15 if you're lucky. I haven't had a workable system since Turbo Lister left. I no longer sell enough volume to afford paying monthly for another app to hold my inventory. And then of course another program to learn how to use. Chronic illness mushes the brain. Good Luck to all who can stick it out!
