The did the exact opposite of what is needed to support sellers to flourish here.Īnd the lack of font color is just one shiny reflection of that.oh look- red is an option even here on the boards lol.and on every other platform in the world! BTW- in order to change the color- I DID NOT HAVE instead they made it more clumsy and cumbersome, removed most of the industry standard features to basic tasks, complicated the listing flow by hiding everything in popup boxes and in general annoyed the seller base by tripling ( if not more) the click count needed to make a simple listing. that would encourage us to list more product here.
What on earth is the mentality of ebay to inconvenience everybody that uses the site? don't they realize that ebay is literally nothing without its sellers bringing product and buyers to the platform? why wouldn't they want to listen to sellers and make the process easier faster and better for us.
Isnt it so completely ridiculous though that after 25 years of sellers building ebay from the ground up- we are forced to make constant workarounds and use word processors to to cut and paste to make a simple listing here. my son showed me how to do that a couple weeks ago.but i had already forgotten. He has been using this template for years and years (I'm sure it was devised long before mobile applications were a factor), and he's still selling stuff, but I think he could be doing much better if his listings weren't such a graphic mess to wade through.For the html code options. (Technically, the problem is that the formats for his template do not try to re-format the page for the screen size, but instead paint everything in fixed dimensions, and leave it to the viewer to manually scroll side-to-side as needed.) I suspect a lot of his interested viewers don't even know there is a description somewhere off in the ozone to the right of the photos.
The images bleed off the right side of the screen, and you can't see anything of the description unless you know to scroll to the right. The whole template is a fixed-width layout that looks okay on a wide-screen desktop or laptop (16:9 screen ratio), but on an older monitor (4:3 ratio, old-style TV screen proportions) or, God forbid, a mobile device, it's a disaster. Down the right side of the page, in a narrow column maybe one-third the width of the images or less, is his description. In fact, let me offer a specific example of why templates are a bad idea: one seller whose products I look at frequently is using a big, sprawling template that stacks all the images for his listing in huge renderings down the left side of the page. They gum up the works, and make it harder for a buyer to purchase an item.
