eBay now forcing me to make more clicks - very annoying!

[downsizingxs]

Left of my listings page was always 'Edit' but today it's a mix of 'Send Offer' and 'Promote Listing'.

I do NOT need eBay to tell me or remind me of my options and I can see for myself how many watchers I have.

It's just getting worse and worse by the day! I'm also having to have two browsers open, one with eBay all Evri and the other with another eBay account all Royal Mail.

Oh to go back to 2010-20!!

I agree.

Funny thing is, if you go to Ebay.com it looks like it used to. That 'Send Offer' and 'Promote Listing' button seems to be an overlay for the UK. Why don't the Americans have it inflicted on them?

[downsizingxs]

The UK is the guinea pig for all ebay's worst ideas!

Now it's 'Shipped' rather than 'Dispatched' - ENOUGH! 

[eastern-lights]

Actually, having said Ebay.com doesn't look like that, that was yesterday. Today, for me, it now has the stupid buttons. ☹️

Very odd.  I's showing for me, though to the right rather than left (which is where it's always been for me)  and as "Revise" rather than "Edit."

'Now it's 'Shipped' rather than 'Dispatched' - ENOUGH!' 

Yes, they have replaced quite a lot of phrases with the more casual, slang-y American versions.

A few years ago it was 'Your item has sold', now it is 'You made the sale'... 🙄

'Purchase postage label', became 'Get postage label'.

And the email title, 'Hang tight, we're processing your refund request' always makes me wince.

[thepillenwerfer]

If we're getting into the realms of pedantry "Get postage label" is correct in my case.  I don't do 'free' postage so the Buyer purchases the label and I only get it.  Of course Get doesn't specify if money has changed hands or not but I certainly don't Purchase them as I don't pay for them.

As for the other things I'm in full agreement with you.

[department28]

Yes, Purchase postage was more suitable before SD came along... perhaps they changed it in advance for that reason?

[edwardian-dreams]

I can forgive a few more clicks (unnecessary I agree) IF the nuts and bolts were working

On seller hub it now looks like this. I assume eBay hope your finger slips and you promote by mistake!!

It's a miracle - back to Dispatched this morning. What will today bring I wonder?????????????

[eastern-lights]

When I was earning a crust as a programmer we had a test system to try things out on. I wonder if I could interest Ebay in the concept?

Well, I'm ' reaching out'  and have to agree with you there! 😉

Oh blimey, not Promote Listing again -is there any orifice which ebay won't try to insert PL into, it's getting ridiculous.

[sunflowers4me59]

I have the answer to your "what will today bring". This was in my messages from ebay this morning.

Forgot again to put screenshot on.
