The mobile/tablet page layouts apply a grey color filter to listing photos. The images below show the item page with the original photo overlayed on the right-side. No editing was done on the eBay listing photo editor. 

This error/design is misrepresenting items by causing darkening and a shift in color temperature depending on user screen settings and is more likely to lead to item not as described claims. Near white photos are especially affected as brightness values above 240 (on 8-bit) are cropped.

This occurs on Android Chrome and EDGE browsers.

Hi gerric9126, thanks for your message.

 

Have you placed an order on eBay recently? It could be the item sent by the seller, but unfortunately they sent the wrong item. On top of that, you could try checking with your neighbours to see if that's something they ordered, but it was delivered to your address by accident.

 

Thank you,

Marco

Hi,

 

Do you have any idea when the Dispatch by dates will be fixed?  Also I mentioned previously on another thread that the postage and payment information on each listing does not match.  I have attached a screen shot to highlight what I mean - they all say "delivery" Royal Mail 2nd class.  This seems to be the same for other users to and not just for 2nd class.

Thanks

Hi,

 

I thought I posted this a few minutes ago, but I can't see it now.  Sorry if it does post twice.

 

I was wondering if you know when the dispatch by dates will be fixed - I know this was an issue last week.  It seemed to be fixed for one day but is now incorrect again.  Also, something has gone wrong with the postage and payment on each listing - this seems to be across most sellers.  I have attached a screen shot as even though the "service" is showing as correct, the "delivery" is showing as 2nd class on all and again, 1st class is showing as arriving after 2nd class.

 

Thank you

Hi @gomimart,

 

I wanted to share an update that we have heard back from the team that this is a part of the testing for the new listing view. They have made updates to a few aspects of the page including the images.

 

On the view listings page or the shop page with the test there will be a feedback option along the right. They have asked that you leave any feedback there. The team reviews all of these feedbacks and uses them when reviewing the test and making decisions moving forward.

I have also noted your feedback on our side too.

 

Thanks,

Katie
