eBay Seller Hub Orders Page Changes Cut Off Important Info

eBay sellers are struggling with more unannounced design changes hampering their workflow as Seller Hub Orders page redesign cuts off important information, requiring additional scrolling to see data that used to be easily viewable on the page.

Zip Code missing on Seller Hub where ‘orders ready to ship’ are listed?
Does anyone know of a way to turn them back on (cannot ‘change’ column/items shown). It was very helpful at a glance because I could see if it was going to EIS (61xxx) or back east zip codes (since i do Free Shipping; can tell at a glance what it may cost to ship).

...oops; nevermind; I see I now have to 'slide' over (scroll at bottom of page)- although wasn't like that yesterday all the way back to when Seller Hub started...

I noticed the same thing today...the last column in my page is "buyer engagement" which has the feedback status icons. I have to scroll over to see them...really annoying.

Yes; for some reason they 'moved' it over so I have to go to the bottom of the page and slide it over to 'see' the zip; something I used to see at a glance. I don't know what they put in its place, because the screen looks the same and I'm on the same computer monitor as always.

Oh shoot, just read what you posted about scrolling right. Well, that doesn't work so well on the All Orders screen! I just went to do something & while I don't use the zip code, I DO use the icons for LEFT & REC'D FB. Those are now also off the screen. But I never saw a horizontal scroll. Why is that? B/C it's at the very BOTTOM, past HUNDREDS of Orders.

So, on the All Orders screen, I have to scroll down past hundreds of items to scroll to the right. Then I have to scroll ALL THE WAY BACK to the top to do the search. This is LUDICROUS!

I would urge people to click on the Comments for that screen & tell them what you think. I just did. Why on earth do I have to scroll past hundreds of items multiple times, just to see the stuff on the right. Who on earth breaks designs these bugs new features. What a nightmare.

ETA: Will be the same problem I suspect on the Orders Awaiting Shipment screen too for those sellers who get a ton of orders.

Unfortunately that suggestion to leave feedback might not do any good - as another seller has reported their efforts to do so bounced and we were not deliverable.

Undeliverable: “Tell us what you think about the Seller Hub Orders updates!”

brian_burke@ebay : I've sent in two comments so far on the latest attempts at revising the Sold Items page, both of which bounced due to Unknown Sender errors:

Your message to DL-eBay-selling-mesh-orders@ebay.com couldn't be delivered.
The group DL-eBay-selling-mesh-orders only accepts messages from people in its organization or on its allowed senders list, and your email address isn't on the list.

What follows is a laundry list of steps to take in order to rectify the bouncing, mainly for the administrators maintaining the account soliciting the feedback comments. I can forward the whole thing if it's really needed, but the gist of it seems to be that someone has coded the Comments link to send user feedback to a secure internal email alias by mistake.

I guess that's one way to avoid critical feedback!

To avoid having to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page, some sellers are suggesting a workaround with highlighting the text to force a side scroll or using keyboard shorts and mouse scroll wheels.

I was able to scroll right by holding the mouse button and moving right like you're trying to highlight text. Still not ideal, but better than scrolling the whole way to the bottom.

It is Slowwwwwww and is more expensive to the buyer. In the past items I have ordered will sit at the hub for around 2 weeks. I avoid ebay unless I cannot get it elsewhere.

Hi, I have a friend who had an interesting experience recently that fell under this issue. They sold an item, packed and dispatched to the UK Ebay hub, this was midway through the period as the pause occurred. They then received a message from the buyer that they had checked tracking and discovered that the item had disappeared on ebay, no advice. It then turned out that the tracking had been fudged and the package was with them but not forwarded on to the USA. A few hours of to and fro to get the answer that it was due to the tariff dilemma. NO fault of the buyer(who had paid) or the seller ((who had been paid) and a strange response that the item could not be delivered. The buyer would be refunded in full, the seller would keep payment and the item would not be returned. Strange, Ebay must be hurting paying our both sides of the deal+

  1. Start building out the brand and promoting the heck out of Canadian sellers to our domestic market. Work with Federal/Provincial level governments in the push to build a strong presence here in Canada.

  2. Add other calculated shipping options than Canada Post UPS/FedEx for domestic shipping - partner with couriers nationwide, leverage agreements and software integrations with courier reseller platforms such as Stallion Express. Build out a crowd sourced network using national/regional retail locations as drop points for rural regions, leveraging transport networks to move packages to courier pickup points, akin to the UK courier model but adapted to the Canadian realities.

  3. Create a centralized international shipping clearing house to aide micro businesses with affordable shipping rates and customs clearance to avoid pitfalls and complexities (akin to US eIS).

  4. Bring features forward to the platform from other localizations, such as prepaid best offer acceptance, etc.
