Seller Hub (eBay)

Has anyone else had their usual selling/sold page on eBay replaced with that god awful seller hub that wont let you go back to your usual page?

I was finally able to switch back to my regular page a few moments ago,
I absolutely hate it when I am paying for a service and unwanted stuff is forced down my neck.

It is supposed to be an opt in feature. I think it might be replacing Seller manager Pro and eBay is pre-empting that change.
My selling page has not changed.
From what I just read it doesn't seem to offer anything to us smaller sellers with all different items. Seems to be aimed at professional sellers with hundred or thousands of items and many very much the same or similar to each other.

"Click on the OPT Out link on the upper right hand corner of any Seller Hub page. It is to the right of the words Messages and Comments." You apparently found that opt out link Jim.

EBay says "Easy to switch If you decide you want to go back to your old selling tool – My eBay, Selling Manager or Selling Manager Pro – it's easy to switch back. Don't worry, you can opt back in to Seller Hub at any time." They just don't bother to say how to switch back in their blurb.

Not now, Selling on other auction sites can take Many Months to complete and the prices achieved and selling costs are much the same as eBay anyway.
I don't trust/like facebook and selling to dealers is just plain stupid.
I do find it pretty Odd that some people put their trust in the facebook selling pages where there are very few safeguards and No guarantees to protect a buyer or seller and then Shun the eBay sellers.

eBay can be a PITA But at least I have complete control of what is sold, when it is sold and for how much.
I also have many regular return bidders/buyers on eBay because they know I don't BS or mess them about, There is also the ability to haggle with buyers that I find to be a lot of Fun as well

I find facebook more secure than ebay and I've been buying and selling on both for at least 8 years.Also Facebook doesnt have the same restrictions as ebay for example there are no fees on facebook so you're saving 20% before you start and you can speak to your customers in real time and make any sort of payment arrangements you like.It's up to you and the buyer.You can also see who you're buying from on Facebook unlike ebay where you never really know who you're dealing with due to the ebay cloak of secrecy .Ebay doesnt want buyers and sellers in direct contact as you might want to dodge their commission whereas there is no facebook commission and no such control .It's chalk and cheese

I have made my first purchases on Facebook very recently. The auction was a heart attack inducing experience. I dare not pay by any other means other than Paypal goods and services. It's all turned out well in the end. How many people are scammed on Facebook, a lot I would think.

I don't think it is only the Buyers on Facebook that are getting Scammed, Have you given a thought to all Sharks on there taking advantage of all the naïve collectors that are getting Ripped off when they are selling top quality coins for peanuts on there as well. :angel:
