Ebay's New "Revise Item" Screens

vsopMember

I was taken by surprise this weekend when I reivised some Ebay listings - they have a whole new screen layout. I found it really cumbersome but I'm sure alot of that will be just getting used to the new format. However, I just attempted in this new format to change my Gallery photo and can't figure out how. Anyone else struggling with this new format?

Just found out I was selected to TEST Ebay's new SELL item format which carries over to the REVISE item and RELIST item formats. Don't know how I got so lucky, but after my inital frustration, I was forced to work my way through it, as I had listings that had to be posted today.

Just realized this format change has been implemented for the "Relisting" function also but apparently not systemwide. I am getting the new format when Revising AND Relisting on Ebay.UK but only getting it on the Relisting function for Ebay.com.

I came across these new screens myself recently, and boy do they suck. I can't for the life of me understand how they think these are easier.

I tried to do a relist the other night, but I ended up going back and using eposter again and easting the extra 35 cent charge. Their form "demanded" I supply things I wasn't willing to supply. Forget that. eBay just continues to suck more and more. I hate them.

Jeff, I haven't tried to new form - what sorts of things does the form "demand"?

It would not let me relist until I entered my zip code. I have my state and gepgraphical location shown. That's good enough. My zip code is a "little too personal" to be openly showing for a public site.

ebay uses your zip code for local search capability and also for the shipping calculator.

by the way, the ebay listing form has ALWAYS (at least since 2000, when I started) asked for your zip code - although you could type whatever you wanted into the box if you so chose.

My understanding is that the zip code requirement is because of Ebay Express.

well your zip code is a matter of public record anyway ... so what does it matter?

As long as you only give the 5 digit zip and not the extended 9 digit one it's no big deal.

I'm not getting the big deal about the Zip code either... I mean, you are listing things that you intend to sell.

If someone buys something, aren't they potentially going to end up getting your entire address?

Or is that not something that you've considered?
