@GoatBoy @Stylz
I just noticed a weird issue in Messenger on the automatic message from the new EE when someone makes an offer. It displays the same on multiple desktop browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Edge and Safari), along with Safari on my iPad. As you can see from the screenshot below, the date value shows in the To: field, the subject shows in the Date: field, and the Subject: field is blank. Clicking reply seems to move things to the correct location, so it only appears to be a display bug on the initial window.

Assuming it's set up similar to the Sold items view for sellers, you should see a list of items that you purchased. On the right side of the list, you should see a green + sign to the right of the seller's name (under the action column) which you can click to bring up the feedback window. Here's what the sellers view looks like.

Yeah, I had that happen too, guy told me via IM that he'd take it, arranged shipping quote, then he wouldn't use the make offer button, had to "close" the ad, no chance for feedback. Seems like a flaw in the system. |

Seems like a flaw in the system. The same thing would happen in the old system if someone made the offer via a PM and never posted in the thread. I've always made it a policy to require the person to post in the thread and didn't consider it a deal until they did so. I assume I'll do the same with the new system, except I'll require the buyer to use the offer button or I won't consider it an offer. |

I haven't submitted feedback yet for the one item that I put for sale, but when click it for the transaction I'm in the middle of, I get a popup which looks like the old style feedback page. If that's where your seeing it, that sounds more like a bug. It's working ok on my phone.

A simple, easy to use market place was borked by good intentions and the great idea fairy. Yes, you can still embed photos in the text of your ad. You won't lose resolution and you won't lose control of you IP. The problem is, many buyers won't see a photo in your ad and skip it by because they don't realize this either. |

What is the threshold for when a WTB ad will automatically bump? The WTB section is 3 pages long at this point and my ad is back on the first page that was posted and was several days ago. |

I sold an item on the new EE last week. Missed a few steps because it’s a new thing, I closed the listing because there was no other option as we missed the offer button. Now I can’t leave feedback for the buyer as he didn’t hit the offer button & I, obviously didn’t hit the accept button, so now there is no place to leave feedback.
I IM’d one of the EE mods last week & haven't heard back. Can someone open the feedback buttons on my EE sale? |

This new EE was not designed to be easy.
I did a big gun stuff clean up and purge today. I have a couple high dollar things I want to buy. Under the old EE I'd have made 4 ads each containing multiple things, it would be easy to manage. Under the new EE I would need to make 30 different ads. I'm going to end up just posting 1 or 2 things at a time, maybe. Still haven't decided if its worth the effort. |

Just read all 9 pages. I have 2 listings on the new side, both were a pain in the ass to do. Not a fan, guess I’ll line up with the other 80% or so of members commenting.
Not once in the past 10 years did I have a serious issue with the EE. This “update” was unnecessary. |

Not knowing all of the back room details, I would guess it might have been necessary. But, it wasn’t well thought out. I’ve seen it a lot in corporations, a small group of well meaning individuals take on a project without understanding how it will affect the end users. I’m guessing that nobody on the ‘team’ spent any time talking with sellers with large listings. The old EE was very unique in its format. That’s one of the major benefits the old EE had. That is gone with the new EE. I’m not a computer geek, so I don’t know if it’s salvageable or not. I do know that I’m it’s current form, it’s unworkable for me. Apparently, I’m not alone. I may list a few small lots of brass to keep a presence there, but no way I’m making 50+ listings every few days. I get $2/lb for scrap brass now, I can sell it that way with minimal effort. I would rather continue to sell to my fellow reloaders, but that isn’t possible with the new format, as it is. |

I miss the old EE where you could actually list stuff without having to jump through 15 hoops
Why can't we have a choice to use the old better EE and have it use the Amazon AI or whatever to format to the new? I haven't posted for sale stuff in a while and I'm re-thinking it due to this new "slick Willie" change |

A select few thinking they know what is good for all are commonly referred to as politicians. And unless ARFCOM has gone full blue hair, we have a particular ideology regarding politicians. Also, I *had* 2 ads. Just closed them because I don’t want to deal with whatever headache may ensue. |

When going through the list of ads the ads take up more page space so its hard to quickly scan through a lot of them and you will have to go through more pages to see all of them. The list length got longer by adding extra info pictures and blank space. The old way was perfect very condensed, now it is hard to find things and the marketplace causes a lot of frustration. Also thumbnail pictures in the list are not needed because you cant see the detail anyway. We just need a text list like it was before.
Also there is about 1/4 less views on new ee listings than the old ones |
