They are still refining it, but it seems this is the way it will stay. ebay advises that 85% of sellers prefer it

Of course they didn't advise where they got the 85% from LOL

Not sure if you are referring to Seller Hub, managed payments, or something else.

In any event, most people will simply learn to use whatever is available to them.

tally agree is there any way to get back to the Classic View

Re: NEW FORMAT BUYING / SELLING

katistrophik — Thu, 22 Apr 2021 09:52:46 GMT

Classic view is no longer available - Seller Hub is the only way to go now

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it is here to stay.

The 85% are the eBay CEOs and shareholders; the other 15% are the long-term eBay employees who have trouble finding the 'on' button on the front of their computer but have billions of dollars to throw around to keep the site afloat.

this is a disgrace,who ever designed this new format should go back to school and learn how to use a computer,also when placing a wanted to sell add ,the **bleep** that comes up that they expect you to fill in which has nothing to do with what you are listing is a joke and quite frustrating,i can see myself giving ebay the flick because of this new format,after all there are other places to sell+buy,cheaper too.

When seller hub originally launched, I was of a similar opinion to you and the OP, gave up on it after about 5

minutes and switched back to classic view. However curiosity got the better of me, and while continuing to use classic view, I spent a few extra minutes, over a couple of weeks, playing with Seller Hub, and after finding how simple it is to use I switched back permanently to the seller hub and have used it ever since.

Is this the same "Seller Hub" which I (and I assume some others) have been using for months? Or is there a second new Seller Hub being rolled out? I noticed the change and it didn't cause me any drama, seems fine to me. Was able to continue doing everything just fine.

I think most of us don't like change but it is inevitable.

Honestly, it has been around that long that I can not even remember when it commenced, must getting on to a couple of years, but apparently now there is no longer a classic view to use.

Probably

eBay explains that the new system re MP will not be functionally compatible with the Classic view, so they are rolling it out to all sellers now in the hope they can get used to it before it ends totally - end of this month I think is what they said.

I can still get classic view on 1 ID. So, so much better and Much more time efficient.I expect it will be gone on the next couple of days though. 😠

I am not a seller, but if a seller is on MP have they been able to use/connect with Classic or only Seller Hub ?

Just wondering, because if a seller already on MP has still had access to and use of Classic, doesn't that sort of throw eBays 'can't be used for MP' out of the water ?

Just a question, not for or against any of this as I have no experience of it at all

My store lost the Classic view yesterday. My non-store account which is on MP (but was registered a month after the store account) still has it. As does this one which isn't going onto MP.

Cheers dave, so the 'won't work once switched to MP' that eBay is espousing is wrong, unless more 'updates and enhancements' are on the way.....

As with all things eBay, there is probably a lag.

the 'on' button is there, very big, usually the size of half of the screen. the ebay management must be blind to see such a big 'on' button.

seems like many people just follow what they're given like sheep.

I agree with you phil.

This looks to be a mismatch of summarised information and links sprayed across a page that will cause users to go off on a click fest to find what they want.

Over years of honing eBay did have a format whereby on the all selling page sellers could scroll down the single page and find a vast amount of pertinent information, and then from that page find most links to where they needed to be. So effective that someone in management, in trying to justify their position, just had to throw it away.

Surely looks to me like a web design format done by someone who isn't an online seller.

I went on to ebay uk and ebay usa and there has been no change. Apparently it is only on ebay au for Australia. Very disappointing for buyers of postage stamps and not easy to use as they removed the shop by category option or greatly simplified it. Unbelievable. Regards Ron. 1burgess22 .
