Where has 'Send Invoice' gone to?

[5kazam]

I haven't been selling for a while (moved house), and a lot of changes have been made to eBay generally.

Currently I'm wanting to send an invoice, but it is no longer in the list of 'More Actions'.

At the risk of seeming like the original dumb blonde, would someone point me to where it is now.

It is still in the same place as always on my page (I'm on a computer not using the app)

It is the top box next to my sold items which are not yet been paid for by the buyer

Thanks.

I think I know what happened.  Buyer was doing a PP payment just as I was going to send an invoice. That would explain why it wasn't on the list, wouldn't it?

As said in my OP, so much has changed on eBay, and it's been some time since I listed, so feel a little like a newbie again!!

And I'm on a computer also.  Have no use for the apps.

[enigmabear]

Same, I've nothing to use an app on so old dinosaur computer it be

I def feel like a newbie too. I think the send invoice area is about the one and only thing that has'nt changed on the page I have.....but give it a day or two and I'm sure they will move that as well

It would be nice if ebay would fix the numerous glitches instead of wasting time just messing with things for the sake of it

Ditto on the glitches.

And what is the point of making a template for listing standard stuff, when you still have to manually adjust font size and colour for each listing.  The old format on 'sell an item' / 'start selling' worked perfectly well, and kept all previous inputs as to what was wanted.  Takes so much more time now. 

Oh, the joys of eBay!!!  The only good thing is that it keeps the brain going thinking of ways to cope with all the 'improvements', lol.

Good luck with changing the fonts in the new listing format. I've tried in vain to do it but it just reverts back to their standard font - which I hate!

[5kazam]

I always stick with Arial, as I find it the easiest to read.  Haven't tried changing to a different font, but might just do it for an exercise.

Font size and changing colour do work, but for each new listing I have to repeat the process as it will not stay there - go into Advanced Editing (or whatever it says) and do the same thing over and over.  

The old templates were a lot more user friendly - but then eBay doesn't seem to want to make life easier for those who spend a good percentage of their life on the site trying to earn a few $'s, and of course giving eBay its 'hard earned' share.

I've got round this by using a feature of the listing editor.

You'll see an "advanced editing" option on the right of the toolbar.

That will open a dropdown on the leftt where you can create/insert templates.

When you are happy with your editing, switch to html view, copy all and then choose "create template", paste your code and save.

It will always be there in future (though the advanced option did go on the missing list for few days recently).

Oh, and welcome back BTW 🙂

[5kazam]

Thanks for the welcome back, and thanks for the advice.

Maybe that's where I'm going wrong - about the insert custom template.  I'll try that one tomorrow, as I had already created a template.  I hope it works as I've spent hours changing things to get my listings being uniform.

I spent hours using advanced editor and doing it by the code view, but as soon as I started the listing it reverted back to their heavy black.
