I think I've broken ebay.

I think I've broken ebay.

I've just got photobucket working finally only to start having issues with ebay. The advanced sell form has gone 'funny' it is showing all sorts of things it doesn't normally show, all in a funny order

Instead of the normal picture upload thingy I now have this

Enter the URL (web address) of picture to link to on a web server

and a silly wee box to fill out item details. I've tried logging out and back in again and it wont change back.
I've got people waiting for me to upload stuff (I dont; want to sell direct as I have more than one person interested so an auction will be best), I have box loads of stuff to list and people actually bidding as I am sitting here uploading

arghhhh

    Looks like it wasn't my fault
    http://community.ebay.co.uk/topic/Seller-Central/Ebay-Tinkered-Selling/1700082472

    I've given up and am using Turbolister again.

    I'm giving up- ebay is definitely broken. The few things I did manage to list with scheduling today I now cannot edit at all. Apparently I must offer paypal on my listing- but I do. I have removed my paypal ID and re entered it and it still says I need to offer paypal.

    I'm totally fed up with it.

    I get that all the time, i thought it was my settings or something. i correct it by clicking on the other tab on upload and clicking back to the tab i want. it always looks like a refresh problem to me.

    The community board regulars think eBay are trialling a new 'sell' format and some of us get it on a random basis.

    Today all is looking well and the bidders are out there so all is well.

    They are trial-ing a new page.

    Edit = will try later, am on an iPad at the moment and cannot upload the pic.

    If it is the one I was getting yesterday then it must still be in a non working format as there was no way of entering anything in the 'description' box as it showed as HTML only (I think it was HTML - it was like a lot of symbols and page breaks) and there was no option at all to change to a normal listing.

    All the other boxes were scattered around randomly and some boxes would not accept any text at all. It was very frustrating as I needed to upload more stock as I was doing better with bids than I had expected and in the end had to resort to using turbo lister.

    The page I saw was talked about on the boards, where it looks empty, with certain links at the bottom instead of the top (including the community boards). Lots of people couldn't find how to get to the boards.

    For me it is causing inventory issues, lots of things are blank and no matter what browser I use, I can't get into the 'blank' box to add something.

    So frustrating when so much is broken already.

    Yes I agree, it seems to be one glitch after another at the moment.
