***Now Available: My eBay 2.0***

We are pleased to announce the official launch of the new My eBay 2.0. Today, we are officially retiring the old version of My eBay and all members will now see the 2.0 version when they log into My eBay.

Some of the features that are in the new My eBay 2.0:
· Customizable summary page
· Easier navigation
· Ability to add a note to an item listing
· Buying and Selling reminders
· Increased Watching limits
· At-a-glance status icons
· Printer-friendly views
· Fresh new look

To learn more about My eBay 2.0, please take the audio tour and see our Frequently Asked Questions.

We will also be hosting an online workshop called "Introduction to the new My eBay" on Tuesday, May 25th, from 10:00-11:00 PT where eBay staff will be on hand to answer questions. More information about this workshop will be available early next week.

Thank you to all users who participated in the beta program. Your feedback helps us make My eBay better both for this release and through future improvements.

We hope you enjoy the new My eBay.

Regards,
eBay

AAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You idiots (yeah I'm talking to you eBay).

Even though a couple features are nice, MOST are unneccesary & its too crowded.

My biggest complaints are.
- I cant seem to yet figure out how to change my preferences to show 200 items sold/listed/not sold as I had it before. I can only seem to make it go up to 25. Where do I go to change that & why didnt you make it easier to find.
- feedback. I click on the link at the left side, it brings me to a page showing ALL my items, including the ones I've left feedback for. WHY?? I obviously have left feedback for some of these items & they are marked as such, but they are still there. HOW USELESS!!!!!

Theres more, but for now that was the most prominent problems I'm having. I'll have more to complain about soon.

What happend to being able to view "feedback I've left for others" in the My eBay? Plus, a lot of the unlabeled "buttons" are confusing. This is going to take some getting used to.

I thought it was pretty good the way it was.


:p

Hi canadagraphs,

You can only view up to 25 items per table in your My Summary view but you can set any of your other pages to 200 items by clicking on the Customize link at the top of the table that you want to change. To view the individual tables use the link in the left navigation. You can also view up to 200 items per table in your All Buying and All Selling pages.

On your issue with feedback, what link are you using?

Oh, and another thing, just because I choose not to sign over my life to PayPal by agreeing to their user agreement and consequently use alternate forms of payment, the new My eBay wags its finger at me every time I'm on the page telling me that all the auctions I've won are UNPAID?

You people are REALLY pushing PayPal, aren't you?

Why oh why are my "Items I'm Selling" in completely random order? I want them in order ending like before. WAAAAH.

OK Michele,

Under "my account" theres a "feedback" link. I go there & THATS where the list of all items comes up. Some are marked "leave feedback" or something like that, but theres also items listed that FB have already been left for. What in the hell are they doing there?

anyways, this is far from the only major flaw.

As for the 25 items, BULLS**T!!!!! I want to be able to view everything I'm selling/sold/unable to sell at once as before. What is gonna happen after an FLD when I have 1500 items up? Am I gfonna have to scroll thru 60 pages to look at them all.. Stupid idea, dontcha think?

Anyways, Give me a couple days & I will have a list of complaints that will make war & peace seem like a brochure.

Hi shostakovichfan,

We added a feature specifically for users who don't use Paypal called "Mark Paid". By clicking on this link in the Action column in Sold or Won, you can manually mark items not paid through Paypal.

Hi canadagraphs,

The Recent Feedback table shows the 5 most recent feedback comments that have been left by other users for you.

If you want to see more than 25 items in a table, you can set the tables to view up to 200 items by using the Customize link at the top of the table that you want to change. You cannot view more than 25 items on the My Summary page but all other pages will support up to 200 items. If you want to change your default landing page so you do not land on the My Summary page, this setting can be found in the eBay Preferences page. Look near the bottom of that page for the My eBay Preferences table. You can change the setting there.

Regards,

Michele

Michele,

It appears that, at least for now, you are responding to people who ask questions on this thread. Although I've Emailed Ebay and expect a canned reply, I'll try a few questions here.

1. How come on a "sold" item listing, my customer from Spain shows with a Zip Code in Missouri?

2. How come on the "sold" items list, the name of the buyer is on top, instead of the item title? I KNOW what I sold, I don't know who I sold it to and this way makes it very difficult to find a particular item if you have a long list. Why can't the item title be on top as with the other sections?

3. Where the "My Summary" part ends, underneath is a LOT of unused white space. On the rest of My Ebay, I have to scroll left and right to see it all. Can't this "My Summary" section, which is not used that often, be placed on the right side instead?

Thank you.

Nice Announcement. Could you have posted this YESTERDAY????

I used to keep a hard copy of ebay information. This became too much paperwork and I simplified. When something was paid I shipped and DELETED IT FROM MY EBAY!! Now everything that I have sold in the past 30 days is back in MY EBAY. This leaves me two choices:

1) Reship everything that I have sold in the past 30 days or

2) Wait for the 12 negs from the items that have not shipped

What do you recommend??????

And for future reference I DO NOT LIKE CHANGE!!!

Exactly how do you take an audio tour if you don't have speakers?

And even if I go use a library computer -- hay, what do you know, no speakers there either.

When can I expect you to mail me a printer so that I can use that print label function?

Why did you post a message on the other board to come over here for discussion when NO ONE IS HERE?

Hi mypostingname,

See my comments below.

1. How come on a "sold" item listing, my customer from Spain shows with a Zip Code in Missouri?

--Many International users use domestic addresses to ship items to their family members. Have you sent an email to that user to see why the Zip Code is a US one?

2. How come on the "sold" items list, the name of the buyer is on top, instead of the item title? I KNOW what I sold, I don't know who I sold it to and this way makes it very difficult to find a particular item if you have a long list. Why can't the item title be on top as with the other sections?

--The requests from most users is to be able to sort by the buyer email or buyer user ID. In order to fit all of the information in the table and make the buyer name/id sort able, we needed to put the item title on the bottom row.

3. Where the "My Summary" part ends, underneath is a LOT of unused white space. On the rest of My eBay, I have to scroll left and right to see it all. Can't this "My Summary" section, which is not used that often, be placed on the right side instead?

--The left navigation was put in place in order to allow users to quickly access different pages on My eBay. We have had requests to allow users to collapse the left navigation which would help. We are looking into options that might help this issue. Thanks for the feedback.

Regards,

Michele

Hi barbarascollectibles!,

It helps to have comments in one location so that we can make sure that we do not miss any. I think the reason that no one is here is probably because of the time.

Michele
