I wonder if it includes the groups that did all these lousy seller redesigns.
I swear, the new selling pages were made by people who never sold anything on eBay.
It's gone from functional to a clunky buggy mess.
Just simple things - like what qualifies for media mail, is profoundly broken. I'll see things like computer parts getting the option and books not. They're in the right categories, that's not it, it's just broken.
Then there's these comically bad features, like the generic AI description (a book description will be something like "dive into the tantalizing tale of adventure and excitement" as opposed to the condition of the book). It's such terribly unhelpful garbage. Whoever thought polluting the listing with paragraphs of generated bullshit was a good idea?
And the new templated shipping costs interface is thoroughly broken. You have to reload the page sometimes to get it to accept the values.
Then there's the api speed. Updating things like the price has gone from under .5 seconds to more like 5. If you want to do a bulk price update it's sluggish and exhausting now.
They also broke the image widget. Rotations and crops sometimes don't stick nor does rearranging the images. I'll do the work then come back days later to see it didn't actually save the edits.
If you try to void a label, not only is this now multiple extra clicks, if you try to do it from mobile, it now takes you to a broken part of the app.
I don't want to exhaust you, but this is only about 1/3 of the issues.
I mean really, it's a bunch of bugs, system slowdown, and features that will do nothing but kill your sales. New things are fine. Broken things are not.
I stopped getting phone notifications for offers recently.
I'm basically only catching them by chance. Yet another thing broken.
I'm sorry people have lost their jobs but I hope it's the right kind of cut here - my sales this time last year was about 8x what I'm doing now - these updates have killed things pretty bad
