Site Map went poof

[dutchman48]

If any one has not noticed, Site Map has disappeared from the bottom of the page.

Glitch, test, or intentional -

[dressintokillvintage]

i noticed it just now...  and i need it

[dressintokillvintage]

i just  found another way to get to what i needed...   go to the customer service area and type in what you are needing... hopefully the answer comes up... in my case it led me to the blocked buyer list from the missing site map... so i was able to add a buyer to my blocked list...

My goodness, it must be Spring Seller Update time again.  What the heck are those guys doing in the background tonight I wonder? 

By site map, I presume you're referring to the page that has all the flags, etc. for the various eBay world sites?  I don't see it either.  But then, so much has been vanishing lately, I hardly notice anymore.

It is so stupid!!  Those at eBay are NOT doing their jobs!!  Get that feature back immediately!!!  I need to end my listing and am unable to do so!!  Duh to eBay!!

[recped]

It's here.....

http://pages.ebay.com/sitemap.html

Bookmark for future reference!

It also looks like the eBay time link at the bottom of the page is also gone.  Why do they always "Fix" things that aren't broken (usually with no advance notice).

I bookmarked it for both sites. I have so many bookmarks now for eBay.ca and eBay.com because eBay pages keep moving or disappearing.

Just crazy the way eBay is changing things all the time that produce no net improvement in the site and more likely make it harder to use. Don't they have web page counters to tell them what is used? Perhaps it is not significant to the typical eBay user but to power users, these senseless changes are driving us all crazy.

PS Also bookmarked the eBay Time page now. At this rate I will have the entire eBay site bookmarked, lol.

Go to the top left corner of most any page and click on the four color... large ebay.

This takes you to  to the eBay.ca main page

Then.....

click on the ...........Legal, Privacy and More' ... wording  visible at the bottom right corner of this page  and lots of information pops up.

Site map and other things are on this list.

Sometimes  you just have to go to the bottom of this page to get this list  of information links.... that includes Site Map.

This has been happening on eBay.com for several months already.

and now it also appears on eBay Canada

Sometimes  you have to go into a  "programmer" mode to find something on eBay..

I call it a "dance around" to find something.

Hear, hear!  

By the way, another page that seems to have disappeared lately is the link to the Canada Post shipping zone.  I used to use that all the time to check parcel rates.  Does anybody know where that page is now? 

It either seems completely random and senseless, or it seems the pages and features they hide away (or remove entirely) are the useful ones.  I think a monkey at a keyboard could probably do a better job.

You've given me my laugh for the day!     I actually had so many eBay pages bookmarked I had to set up a separate folder in my bookmarks section for them.

"Block Bidders" is easily found on the My eBay Summary page, just below the chart of your "At a Glance" sales in the "Alerts and To Dos" section

I think you are referring to the Selling Manager Summary page, not My eBay.

In My eBay it's called "shortcuts" and you can create your own hyperlinks there to take you anywhere you want.

My eBay shortcuts have been broken/changed for a month now. Saw this posted in the eBay.com forums and confirmed it. You can "Edit shortcuts" to delete existing shortcuts you created but can no longer add new ones. You can show or hide eBay provided shortcuts. But you cannot add a new link.

[recped]

Well I haven't used the shortcuts since they day it became available!

I did just notice that the link for the Site Map is at the bottom of THIS PAGE!!!!!!

[recped]

The link has returned on the .com home page....still mia on the .ca home page.

I see the Site Map link on the bottom of ebay.ca pages now as well as on ebay.com.

I never really used the shortcuts on My eBay. I made a few in my early days of using eBay 6 years ago but then went to making bookmarks on browser toolbars.

I was surprised they were broken. Very few complaints about the My eBay shortcuts not working properly so no one must have been using them. No reaction like Site map link missing.

The bigger picture is that eBay is messing up their site and no one seems to be aware of all of these little changes and glitches. Is no one looking over this? Just little teams that decide what to add change or remove. They dot not seem to have a clue what they are doing.

Just shaking my head at all this bs this year alone since January.

eBay is a massively complex site. Any type of extremely micro fix for one thing can have unintended consequences elsewhere.

This type of glitch happens everywhere, we take note of it mainly because we are always here and looking.

Don't forget for every person who knew the site map link was on the home page at the bottom there are probably 10 sellers that have no idea there is a site map.

Now here's an interesting thing.....using FireFox......

When the home page is viewed in full scream mode the site map link is not there.

When I view the home page in a window less than full screen I see the same footer that I see here on the boards which does have the site map link (but doesn't have all the other links).
