eBay have changed my store appearance without telling me !

[rosiegrinsel]

Anyone else out there had this happen?

I am quite angry about this !

There is quite an extensive discussion about his on the Powerseller board.

And they did tell us apparently. Probably the Spring Seller Release.

Hi davewil,

Yes, but my header picture is missing and there are categories listing my items (not all correctly) that were not on my earlier store front.

There is also a blue button to click on to make comments, but it does not give any capablity TO comment when you click on it !!

Can you tell me how I can see the 'powerseller board' ?

Even though it seems I AM a powerseller, (not much powerful selling going on these days) I didn't know we had our own board.

I would be interested in seeing comments on this subject.

There is a link, close to the comment link you mentioned, which allows you to change back to the old format. A lot of the discussions on the forums have been about problems and glitches with the new format. Catagories not showing, no page numbers at the bottom of the first page, meaning buyers can only see your first few items, drop off in sales when people switch to new format etc. Basically another case of ebay introducing a major change and then just sorting all of the problems out after the event, rather than proper testing before introduction. I have switched both of my stores back to the old format as to me its a more intelligent layout with the features buyers actually need , rather than all of the bland, cheap, jingoistic clutter of the new store. ANOTHER CASE OF CHANGE FOR THE SAKE OF IT, rather than any real genuine improvements. My sales have still been very good in the last 24 hours, so no problems there with changing back.

Thanks chameleon54...

I will change back to my old store format.

I have only had ONE sale in THREE days and even it is the slow 'end of the monthish' time, would have expected a bit better... perhaps it IS the new format.

We shall see.
