Yes it is hopeless, but once you lose it you can't get back any longer. Another 'Enhancement'! ๐Ÿ˜

Re: new selling page hopeless how do you get back to old page

This new layout is completely broken, you can't even revise an item in Seller Hub (unless I'm blind, but there seriously doesn't seem to be a way to revise anything, only sell similar or end item), and the joke that the "new" layout is (and has been all the time), it may as well not even exist - it's virtually a mobile app and almost unusable on anything larger than a phone. To add insult to injury, if you have an older PC, it takes literally two minutes to load the Seller Hub's All Selling page while the CPU is pegged at 100% until it's finished, compared to three seconds (and I have 50 items in view just like my classic All Selling page - had to change it from the default of 5 items because that amount was just pathetic).

 

If you haven't touched anything since the change, you might get lucky if you have the All Selling page bookmarked. The classic page will load until the JavaScript redirects you to the new page, but if you press Escape just before the page has loaded it won't redirect you. If you have already clicked on the popup to opt into either of the two useless new layouts, you're stuffed though; the page will redirect without even loading anything and you can't go back. Get it while it's still hot: https://my.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MyEbayBeta&CurrentPage=MyeBayNextAllSelling

 

I think it's time for me to finally ditch eBay for good, as much as it is sad since I won't be making a few dollars here and there anymore. 18 years in the making. The writing has been on the wall since early last decade though, eBay has tried screwing with non-business sellers for ages in order to get them to move elsewhere so eBay can become the new Amazon by selling nothing but brand new $1000+ items only.

 

First it was the inability to leave negative feedback for false buyers and shill bidders (which inflate the price to ridiculous levels and then don't pay when they win so you can cop a nice fee until you close the non-payment case over a week later), then it was the automatic Money Back Guarantee on cheap untracked items (freeBayโ„ข) which puts it 100% into the hands of how honest the recipient is, then it was the removal of BIN listings with the free relists (no free relists with GTC, only auctions which don't have a 30-day option), then it was Managed Payments with the killing of PayPal as a bank-without-a-bank (you can't buy things using Managed Payments funds, and it takes an eternity to transfer to the bank due to banks being banks, worse still with all the public holidays and long weekends we have), and now an interface screw to stuff around anyone attempting to use the site on a desktop PC as opposed to a phone or a tablet in vertical orientation.

Apparently you just click on "Edit" next to the arrow to revise an item in Seller Hub. Because of course that makes sense when the word has been "Revise" for two decades and hidden behind a "More actions" link that does nothing aside from opening a text menu (the menu itself now being the aforementioned arrow).

Active listings. The first (and visible) option in the dropdown to the left is 'Edit'.

I still have this option in my eBay selling overview - but I haven't tried it out in case I get lost!

Unfortunately. Ebay needs to stop forcing changes on us and let us choose for ourselves. I hate the new selling page. Let me keep the classic view page.

The only way I've found that allows me to use classic view is to click on "View My eBay Selling" under "Selling Tools". If you click this you'll be back to classic view for a few seconds before it flicks you over to the new look. To stop it from switching, click the "X" to the stop the page from loading. Do this and you still have classic. Annoying bit is having to do this every single time.

That only works if you haven't already clicked on one of the new "options" as opposed to closing the tab on your browser. I got fed up of seeing it every single time I loaded the All Selling page so I clicked on the one-way link to Seller Hub (opting out of Seller Hub forces you into the useless My eBay layout, not classic view). Now it's Seller Hub or bust (note how they hide your freebie links, for example what's left of your 40 listings if you're not on MP, in the Overview and not in your selling pages).

 

If you have already opted into one of the two newer formats, you can't access classic view at all even via Selling Tools (which is just a link to the old eBayISAPI.dll based URL which everyone has or had bookmarked anyway); the classic All Selling link will be a blank white screen and redirect immediately upon clicking, rather than redirecting after the classic page has completely loaded.

 

This may or may not be coincidental, but I have not had one sale ever since I was moved to the new format. I actually went into PayPal to see if it wasn't a bug with the page layout, but still no sales! I'm not with Managed Payments and haven't received the invitation or any eBay messages of the like, so it's still instant PayPal money for me whenever I make a sale.
