What is this where there are listing all the places I ship to?

I only noticed it as of yesterday.  Ebay has been tinkering again.

In an ad, in the shipping details section it now shows the complete list of countries you ship to.

Instead of having to click on it and then seeing a drop down menu of the list.

Must be.  More eBay "monkey business".  

I don't like it at all, stupid idea in fact.  It looks very cluttered and complicated at first glance, and it means it will take a buyer more scrolling to get to the actual listing.  They should simply have put in a "Ships to" link that can be clicked on.

Here's one example (it's all over my listings, this is just a sample).  Doesn't that look ugly and clumsy?  You will no doubt see the same sort of thing very shortly too.  I wish eBay would just leave well enough alone.

Good grief, that's a hot mess. I can't expect it will stay that way as it flies in the face of all the streamlining they're doing to make the pages more mobile-friendly. 

Although if it is long-term, it makes me wonder if it might be quicker to choose Worldwide with Exclusions if the exclusions are the ones hidden.

Although, for my listings, it doesn't look too bad since I have a much shorter ship-to list. In fact, the last time I was shopping on ebay.co.uk, I found it laboursome to check the drop-down menu every time I saw something good to see if they shipped to Canada. This might make things easier for some buyers. But only if it's a short list like mine. Maybe better to go Worldwide with Exclusions if you've a lot of shipping destinations accepted.

More like a steaming pile of you-know-what!

You would think -- right??  But this is eBay, where contradiction and chaos seem to reign.

That was my first thought too.  But I think I'll wait a week or two to see if it's really just more "monkey business" or a permanent change. 

By the way, has anybody else noticed that the sign-in screen started looking different yesterday? This always makes me a little nervous, wondering whether I'm being shadowed by some hacker, or being led by the nose to a nefarious site. 

If eBay is going to change something this fundamental, that has looked the same for years, they really ought to be letting us know.

Hey 'mj' -- what's the deal with the "Earn eBay bucks" banner?  

I thought the eBay Bucks programme was retired long ago? 

I know you list only in $Cdn.  Have they resurrected it for Canada?  As far as I know it is still offered in the U.S. (on .com). 

Ooooohh, maybe it's another "carrot" they're adding to the blandishments to convince Canadians to list in $Cdn on .ca?

Maybe my weird log-in page is connected with this:

(I had to LOL at the eBay logo in flames -- they didn't need to be quite so graphic, did they?!)

[momcqueen]

No, no. I was taking a look at the way the listing would appear to someone outside Canada. On ebay.com where Ebay Bucks live long and prosper. (Don't get me started on how unfair that is.) The screenshot is from the American side. The listing is (and will always be) created on ebay.ca.

THAT GRAPHIC MADE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD. 

It was all that I could do not to include it in my thread on that subject this morning http://community.ebay.ca/t5/Seller-Central/Anyone-Else-Feeling-Buggy-This-Morning/m-p/318941#M51653

(Their graphic and headlines often make me laugh. Oh, to be allowed Freedom of Speech. I sometimes understand the temptation to create an ID for posting purposes only so that I could say what I really want to say about things.)
