Classic View on eBay

Hi all
Been an eBay biz seller for quite some time and for the life of me can't figure out how to revert to classic view on main selling page. I really do not like the new selling page, as others have mentioned. Automatically occurred yesterday and checked many a forum and even contacted eBay who have said it can't be reverted.
I've seen some people who have been able to do it but can't find anyway possible myself.
Any ideas? TIA.

Can't help with having it changed back but Seller Hub is superior IMHO, once you get used to the new layout it's very straightforward.In the game of chess you can never let your adversary see your pieces1

I think some people can switch back once, but some can't switch back at all and eventually we will all be on one form or another of the dashboard,I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

Thanks guys.
Yeah, knew it was coming (a bit like managed payments) but wish we had the option.
As lunny says, will take a bit of getting used to.1 -
I was changed to the new layout two days ago. There used to be an option to go back to 'classic view' but I can't see it anywhere so now have to come to terms with the new layout.
It looks OK for business sellers but as a small time private seller I find there is far too much information on the pages. Will just have to get used to it but I'm thankful I've done 90% of my decluttering and more options are coming along all the time4 -
I like the seller hub.
DH had it on his business account for ages before I had the option to switch to it on my private account and I was so annoyed that I couldn't have it. I find the information on it interesting but I'm a bit of a data/stats lover anyway. It's more user-friendly than the classic view as you can do multiple relistings/end multiple listings very quickly, rather than having to do them one at a time.0 -
It looks like we are stuck with it. Everybody is going to be lumbered with it eventually,
I've had a grumble to Ebay, because I find the new look headache inducing, and, for me, less is more.
Plus, it keeps resetting my home page, and it takes three goes before I can see all my listings. It's annoying. Before, I just clicked on my seller page and there everything was. I've only had the new layout a few hours and I'm finding it very frustrating.
Classic view was spot on for me, as I don't need all the bells and whistles. I don't want a very bright page, or everything spaced out.
A lot of this seems unnecessary, especially if you aren't a business seller. I couldn't care less about data or analysis. I just want to see what I am selling, and if it's sold, that it's been paid for.
I've seen lots of complaints on the Ebay forums. But, Ebay replied to me and said that 'lots of members prefer the new layout'.
Well, I very much doubt that, and this member doesn't, and I would have appreciated being given a choice as to whether I wanted it or not.BEST EVER WINS WON IN ORDER (so far) = Sony Camcorder, 32" lcd telly, micro ipod hifi, Ipod Nano, Playstation 3, Andrex Jackpup, Holiday to USA, nintendo wii, Liverpool vs Everton tickets, £250 Reward Your thirst, £500 Pepsi, p&o rotterdam trip, perfume hamper, Dr Who stamp set, steam cleaner.

Question: Within the new ‘my eBay’ Is there a way you can change the order of the categories?
I would like ‘Active selling’ at the top, but it is not, and I cannot see a way to move it like you could in the ‘old my eBay.
Anyone know please?0 -

^^^ this, word for word. Again, as a low-volume private seller the old selling page gave me everything, and I mean everything, I needed on one page. Now I have to think what I might need to check up on and then go looking for the information on multiple different screens / pages. Complete and utter PITA.
The questions that get the best answers are the questions that give most detail....5 -
Hate this new look. The last time they did it, they allowed folks to switch back and I did but there is no option now.
The layout is so meddlesome and I get confused getting from one bit to the next.
I think they mustn't want me to be a user on the site anymore - stopping the £1 FVF offers, this awful layout, letting people from all over the world bid on UK only items and randomly allowing folks to place offers on items I do not want offers on (I know this last one is not a biggie but seriously if I wanted folks to give me offers, I would tick the bloody box)!5 -
Hate it, hate it, hate it.
What in God's Green Earth have they done ?
I am a Small scale private seller - and the previous set up served me fine.
One click and I could see everything I had sold, been paid, posted, feedback received and sent
Current listings - watchers, bidders, price etc
Unsold items, and
Drafts ready to be listed
Now......
How many different requests and screens do I need to navigate to find this exact same set of info ?
I have mega loads of stuff to sell - and found out tonight I now have a Selling Limit - so ebay is not allowing me to relist anything!
Anyone ever had that before?
I have NEVER ever been told I had a selling limit before by ebay.
Why would they want to impose one on me?
Are they not in business to make a profit?
Surely the more items I list, the more likely I am to sell more items, and ebay therefore rake in more commission/fees?
So why impose a limit ?4
