New ebay 'Seller Hub' format.

paramount-direct — Fri, 23 Apr 2021 10:34:42 GMT

I can't get across (without swearing) how absolutely horrible the new ebay seller hub format is.

Well done ebay. How to take a format that worked okay, and revamp it into the most god awful counterintuitive piece of rubbish.

I've got no idea how people with many sales going on daily navigate this disaster.

I guess enough idiots at Ebay driving desks thought it was a winner.

Currently looking at better places to sell!

I have been using the Seller Hub for months.

I guess I have enough brain cells to navigate it. Not enough to work out what your question is, though.

Edit: See ya. Along with all the Managed Payments reactionaries, this certainly opens up my markets

I suppose everything at your fingertips, can be too much to handle, for some.

the problem is, with previous version, you don't have to navigate it. It's all in there.

Me too! Hate it! I liked original page where everything was easy to see on one page. I am trying to use the one before this new seller hub, but hate it as well, but better than new version

Agreed I too hate the new format ... why cant they leave the link to the classic format .. that way there was at least a choice ... this way you have to open different pages .. no longer all at one glance ..

Actually really well, TBH. ("Many" is subjective, of course, I sell a few hundred items a week, anyway).

I'm a little lost on what info people want to see all on one page that they can't see in seller hub, I mean I rarely visit the overview and typically just open to the "awaiting postage" page as that has everything I need to pick, pack and post current orders, but the whole set up has actually been pretty good for efficiency for me - I did have to make a couple of customisations of course, (too many columns of info that are completely unnecessary in the awaiting postage page, for example, so culling those was the first adjustment), but on the odd-chance anyone answers and I can help with page set-up, I'd be happy to do that.

Absolutely agree 110%.

The no frills 'classic' backend made selling and modifying listings a breeze. This new eBay seller hub is revolting, time consuming and useless. Not everyone uses a mobile or tablet to sell.

eBay management should respect the sellers who do not like the change and revive the old 'classic' setup as a option.

Fancy bells and whistles are great for our buyers but not for sellers who simply want a fast simplistic way of listing their goods.

Perhaps if eBay actually surveyed their sellers they would find a sizeable amount hate the newest interface, followed by the modern interface and last would be the classic interface.

If you are only selling under 20 items it would be a breeze. Try selling 100+ of items and then get back to us on how great the new "Seller Hub" is?

Did you even bother to read the offer in the post right above yours? or do you think ranting some more is really the proactive way to go

I have 2000 items listed, and I sold over 1000 last year.

I preferred the old page for the fact that it showed everything on one page, but Seller Hub is hardly onerous.

I've been using it for listing since it was introduced, as I store my upcoming listings (usually around 300 - 3 times your total listings) in 'Inventory' and list from there.

Easy.

After getting used to it the Seller Hub active page isn't too bad, although it still doesn't compare with the classic All Selling view, and doesn't show you how many free listings you have left unless you go into Overview, where by default it's hidden in a Windows 8-like square somewhere near the bottom of the screen. It's at least quicker to change price/quantity and the listings are shown an appropriate size (assuming a 1920x1080 monitor) like the classic view rather than taking up a third of the screen each - unfortunately the postage can't be changed without revising, unlike the price and quantity.

The My eBay design can get stuffed though, it's irritating enough in Purchase History when you've bought a dozen or so items and are trying to leave feedback for each one - I can barely fit 4 items on the screen because they're so huge, each item is something like 300 pixels tall (just like the new forum layout for that matter).

davewil1964 — Fri, 30 Apr 2021 09:23:56 GMT

I forgot to add that if 96 of your whole 101 listings are BIN why would you need to revise or relist them?

Methinks thou doth protest too much. Without any evidence to support your protest.

Although it is refreshing to see complaints other than managed payments, so that is a plus 😉

Yep agree totally.
