Simple (and more profitable?) for ebay, not for us

X billionth post on the subject

 

Ebay, tell me where the "save image as" and "print" options are on the context menu.

 

I don't care what you want me to do, this is Simple Deliverythis makes things easier for me, and that is what I usually do. While you're there ebay (you aren't), tell me, from this page, how I navigate back to "selling" using the menu option (and not clicking the logo)

 

This is Simple Delivery, and this makes things easier. So tell me how I use my existing, simple process, to accomplish the things using your Simple delivery navigation. Take your time.

 

Even better. Before, when I saved the QR code as presented, I could call it...well, anything. Bob, Frank, Dilbert, or even "camera return". Now, when I use your lovely blue "download QR code button", it calls it..... P4R9BJ.jpg

 

And that's really. b.l.@@@@.d.y helpful.

 

What you are doing, ebay, is creating points of failure. "is that the right QR code? am I sending this to the right place? Do I need to save the QR code again to make sure it's the right one?"

 

And now, if I download the QR code again to make sure (more page navigation), I am now down to checking insane details like "Can I detect the same pattern in the newly downloaded QR code as the one I think I downloaded previously"

 

ebay really, really, really doesn't think about this, do they. At least it's s-i-m-p-l-e. Wrong, but simple.

 

fresh in. when uploading images, you can't use png, only jpg and gif. This is ebay making things ̶m̶o̶r̶e̶ ̶p̶r̶o̶f̶i̶t̶a̶b̶l̶e̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶m̶  easier for us.

(browsing my folders) what's this QR code I downloaded previously? which item did this apply to? Have I already used this QR code? Have I already posted the item off that used this QR code? Does this QR code apply to that item sitting over there? Can I delete this QR code? do I still need it?

 

you probably get the idea....

that is correct - and it's also roughly the same info as about 2 or 3 other posts I've done - it just contains different and new information. I like to think of it as a small helpful boost to someones day.

 

Different issue - and I now know why, how the hell did ebay not see this? the "accept solution" button actually changes position, the reply button becomes the "accept solution" button

 

For the coders who haven't had their coffee yet, this means that if internet lag causes the page not to respond for a few seconds, you've just incorrectly flagged something as being the solution

 

Are ebay a few beanbags short of a focus group or something?
