New Draft Page Layout

[toysaver]

What is the point of this?  All those little boxes at the top?  I'm sure they weren't there a few days ago.

I'm old and hate changes.  Anyone else see it or am I the only one infected?

Yes. Started seeing this yesterday and today while scheduling listings, the successfully listed/scheduled page was different and took several steps to get back to original scheduling/draft page.

Changes that help, okay, but more steps to do the same task? Not a fan!

@toysaver  I'm guessing this is primarily for those with a lot of drafts...it gives you a way to sort....only want to work on auctions, not BINs? Sort that way. I'm also guessing that eventually they will make it possible to fill in some of the info in these columns right rom the column, without having to open the draft page itself.

I only have a handful of drafts.  It's distracting.  I'm hoping they eventually make it go away.

Starting yesterday or the day before, I see this new header format on all of my listing displays (Active Listings, Send Offer Eligible, Drafts, etc.).  I believe this is a bug - an update went live that messed up the header.  In my Active Listings display, I now only see the sort arrows above several columns and no longer see the Title of the column unless I expand it to a pretty wide width.  I hope they fix this soon.

They need to add a "customize" button as they do on the active orders page. I tried to eliminate or condense the columns... no luck.

another improvement we are stuck with.

I checked all the other page options and only see it on drafts.

On my active. I think that it was done to help sellers locate the spot to hover to space the selections.

I don't see it going away.

I think they fixed it.  The irritating dividers / vertical stripes are gone.

It is not just the drafts page but on my all selling page also. ACTIVE LISTINGS, UNSOLDS, ect. started yesterday for me. it is horrible.

and speaking of drafts. I am now getting spammed by ebay messages throughout the day on my phone app "TO FINISH MY DRAFTS" Really? I know when I save a draft for an hour or so. Don't need messages reminding me on my phone!

I think these revisions (additions, actually) were done to enable sorting the listings by any chosen column. Click on the column heading and the table will order its entries by the values in that column. Click on the heading again and the table will flip to reverse the ordering by that column. 

This has been standard Windows practice for, like, forever, but eBay apparently didn't pick up on that, and instead had a home-brew solution and only in selected columns (their choice). It looks like they have now applied that across the board.

eBay themselves don't seem to want to talk about this anywhere that I'm aware of, so that is just my take on what I'm seeing; not speaking for the company.

I had this same header for a few days on my accounts and now it has disappeared. Go figure, eBay has to keep testing things out on Live as always.
