Again, something has been broken that was previously fine.
eBay seem to have redesigned the photo section on the Android app, so you can now no longer take rectangular photos or switch aspect from portrait or landscape. In order to do this you now have to take a square photo then manually edit it. In addition to this, that part of the app is now buggy:
1. It suddenly scrolls through all previous photos on the current "roll" every time it takes a picture.
2. It has a lag of about 0.5 second from shutter button, so you think it hasn't taken the photo, then it suddenly does and invariably blurs as you move your hand to check...
3. The "shutter click" sound is now disabled.
4. Delete button gone, you need to open a photo and "edit" to delete.
5. Probably more, I'll find them.
All this on top of the other recent problems with bulk editing, "simple postage" options greyed out, fees charged on automatic relists, "resolve problems" feature freezing... Are ebays tech department deliberately trying to make things difficult to put off home/personal users while they try to turn it into a one stop shop for businesses?

It's driving me nuts - do people actually test out these things!
I especially like the new feature that after I have taken a picture and then realised that the photo didn't take till I moved the camera and is blurred etc that when I select 'retake' I cant actually see what I'm retaking only the image I'm trying to replace! Idiots.

This and all the other sudden "bugs" and "upgrades" recently are only reinforcing the notion that eBay are trying anything they can to subtly push private low volume users off the site. Why else would they make everything so convoluted and bug ridden then deny there are issues?

Another bug to add that is similar to those mentioned.. if i select a “theme” in specifications it auto scrolls up to the top of the listing. I also have seen coding in title and description when editing a listed or drafted item.
