Oh man. I’m gonna be honest. I was agonizing over the change ebay made recently, to their listing interface. With all the stupid changes going on with websites of all the popular sites, I was starting to feel like it was all just going to continue changing unnecessarily until it all looked like a mobile app, even if on desktop. Which basically gives me motion sickness it’s so bad.

It’s the most idiotic thing; I’m just beside myself at some of the things I’ve seen. BUT it looks like ebay reverted to the original look. I’m super, super relieved right now and I hope they reverted because the feedback was overwhelmingly negative, which would mean they are not changing it back. Let’s keep our fingers crossed. The original interface is PERFECT. It makes the shopping/browsing experience as fluid and simple as possible.

All it did was make the listing image take up 90% of the screen, relegating the listing/seller/BIN/bid details over to the right 1/5th of the screen and make it feel claustrophobic, and even make it so that, ironically, the zoom feature worked less optimally. Phew, bullet dodged. For now at least.

This was by FAR the worst part of it. Half the time it would say ā€œclick to enlarge,ā€ and then when you clicked it, it would just open up a new tab and the image would be the exact same size.

Yeah right.

The truth is the seller is dropshipping my slab, and as soon as I found out I raised the price of my own listing to way over the dropship price and bought out the dropship listing, so the seller will either have to cancel the transaction or lose money on the deal since it’s not possible to find another copy with exactly the same cert number except buying from me.

Update:


Yeah right.

I’m really disappointed you didnt buy the listing, have them buy your original listing and then cancel.

Just wondering, does the following fall under the ebay garbage category? Someone buys an item, then requests me to cancel the sale a few hours later, stating that they have bought the same item somewhere else for a lower price?

Haha nice, not gonna play with that dropshipper further since I don’t want to jeopardise my own eBay account, but that’s also fun to see. Noted!

I also came up with some new ideas when checking the dropshipper’s listings so I’m gonna apply those to my listings and see if any dropshippers fell short for that!
