New listing tool

soolin

Just gone to list a few bits on my private account and I've been switched to the new listing tool, and I am finding it radically different and more cumbersome than the old business listing tool. I can't find where to list my own SKU details, nor can I find the option to re centre my description/ I only use GSP for overseas sales and I'm not convinced I've set that up right- I think I have, but it's difficult to check. I also can't see where to put the package size and weight that is needed for GSP to be calculated.

I'm not impressed so far and will have to look to see if there is any way of reverting to the old tool. Has anyone else been switched?

I had the option to try it, hated it and switched back again. I wasn't forced into using it though. When I switched back, the option was at the top of the create listing screen.

It won't let me switch back and if I use 'sell similar' my space bar doesn't work on the title - this is taking ages for what should be a 10 minute job

Hi Could you please let me know how you managed to switch back I contacted Ebay via online help after going round in circles looking myself and was advised the option to switch was no longer available. I didn't switch they forced it on me. Thanks

I can’t switch mine back either , I have absolutely no option to do so.

I went to Create new listing, and selected a template. The next screen had a blue button at top right of page offering to switch back to previous version.

Thanks it doesn't give me that option

Typical ebay, they want to introduce something new but haven't thought it through. Everything seems designed to irritate, the picture rotate goes the opposite way, the item category suggestions relate to the previous item search not the current one and the overseas postage options are hopeless. Unfortunately there is no going back!
