eBay.com Seller's form is different but eBay.ca remain's the same, how can I change it back?

I'm a Canadian who sells a lot of sports cards to people around the world, but mostly the US and Canada. I hadn't put up a listing in a week or two and when I go today to put up a listing at eBay.com I found the form was changed completely, and for the worse, yet the eBay.ca form is completely the same except for now having to list items in Canadian dollars.

I've always preferred using the US form, yet now it seems it is exceedingly clunky. Why not use eBay.ca? Because I don't want to list in Canadian dollars. My PayPal is in US funds, my customers like having the prices of my listings is US funds.

So right now I can either try to do listings on the new system at eBay.com and hope it works out, or use eBay.ca and suffer with the Canadian pricing set up. Is there any way I can get eBay.com's seller form to revert to the old template? This is pretty annoying and makes me want to stop selling all together.

Also, one more question. If I sell through eBay.ca with just a Canadian and American shipping options, will my listing still show up on international eBay sites? Unfortunately eBay.ca doesn't seem to allow me to have an international shipping option in addition to a US shipping option (It only lets me to create one or the other to go with the Canadian shipping option), and I have different shipping prices for each.

Canadian sellers can list in US funds on eBay.ca. (I do.) New sellers may have to use the Advanced form which is longer.

The advantage of selling in USD to American customers is obvious. At the moment your Canadian customers may be getting some sticker shock.

The advantage of using eBayCA is that you can tweak the shipping and handling better, since you have both Flat Rate and Calculated services available.

This may not be useful to you if your packages can go letter rate, but if you sell bulkier lots that must go parcel, having the Canada Post services is a help.

Again, this may be the short form which is aimed at new, less experienced sellers who can mess themselves up  selling internationally.

On the long form, where you see Custom Destination you can fill in US service.

Then Choose Another Destination shows up and you can click on that, choose Custom Destination again, and choose from a list of specific countries.

And on the third section of Shipping, again we are on the Long Form, if you leave it at Seller Ships Worldwide, your customers in Malaysia or Norway would see 'Contact Seller for Shipping Cost' even before they bid.

It's unlikely that it would show up other sites if only Canada and U.S. were checked off. The U.S. has a short form too which is probably what you are used to and it has the option of listing a shipping price for more than one international country. You can get to the quick listing tool by clicking on the link at the top right of the listing form.

They recently changed the short form on .ca so that sellers could only list in Cdn $ but other than that, I'm not aware of any other changes.
