I've never used my phone to list on ebay. My Flintstone era XP comp is running poorly & is deathbed slow that I'm not sure that it will not push my (very limited) patience over the edge. I guess maybe I'm oldskool (& not savvy tech wise) but the concept seems so foreign to me. Any thoughts?

I used it once, in January 2013. It was pretty simple to use, the only things I didn't like were editing photos and typing in the description on my phone (it's just easier to do that on a big screen with a keyboard attached.)
Haven't used it since then, they've probably changed how it works (because eBay can't leave anything alone).

Did. Didn't like it. Won't do it again.
If you need a new computer, notdot, check out the flex pay options at QVC and HSN.

I do everything else but list on it. I know there are a few here do use it so I'm sure someone will be along.

My issue was that everything was too dang tiny to read and it took me FOREVER just to relist some stuff, no changes even.
eBay has been asked to develop a SELLING app for years now but so far, has not.

I list everything with my phone. My listings are pretty bare bones but it's so easy.
My gripe now is the latest version of the app. It's awful to navigate.
I do have a tip if you use "sell similar". I did it from another seller - one with a different color.
They had used the color and the sub-color for the shade. In the app, I couldn't get rid of the shade. I had to go to the classic site to get rid of it.

I don't know how long ago you tried, but re-listing is super easy. You go to your unsolds, click relist, it takes you to a screen that asks you to confirm, cancel or edit listing. |

Thanks for the input. I might give it a try but honestly, I don't even like being on ebay w my phone unless I switch it to classic site. (sigh...I am just so stuck in my ways)

notdot, sometimes we just have to FORCE ourself to change. Give it a week, and you'll be a pro!
I don't list on my phone because I have fat fingers LOL! However, I can do everything else on my phone super easy (easier than on the website from my desktop!). Relists, edits, answering ASQs, etc.

I don't list from my phone cause I hate typing on the screen. If I use my phone for pix I'll start a listing, saved it and completed it on my laptop. It's awkward but sometimes the pix quality is better on my phone for certain colors.
I just updated my iPhone to the latest version, IOS9 I think, After I did that I updated all my apps, including the eBay app. Maybe I'm crazy but I can't find my active listings. It's not under selling, which seems like the logical place to put it. Can someone please direct me to where those listing should be found?

Mine disappeared for a little while yesterday, but it's back now. You can just scroll down under the Cash it In and after your drafts, selling should be there.
I really hate the new version.
You can also hit the three lines on the upper left and select Selling and scroll down.

Wow Terri- thanks SO MUCH for posting that. When I get around to upgrading my phone I may go Android this time. Between baloney like this, trying to force me to use the cloud, etc, Apple's burning their bridges with me.

Oh yeah, I see my active listings now too; I'd swear they weren't there earlier. What a relief!

I do all of mine from my iPad. My computer is dying also. My D I L does al of hers from her phone. There is a learning curve, but I don't think I would ever go back to computer.

I relist on my phone often. Easy to do while waiting for the bus or watching tv. Creating listings from scratch on my tiny screen seems too fussy.

DH has a Samsung Galaxy S5. My phone died yesterday when we were out so I used his to do some research, answer an ASQ. I nearly threw it out the window I hated it so much. |

I do everything from my Iphone6. No problems.
Just saw a today's special for a laptop on Qvc...literally right now! 6 pays for $88.
I ned to purchase something because my computer is 6 years old! BUt, as a teacher, the school supplies me with a Ipad ...the new lighter one....and I have 4 more years to teach. Trying to wait to purchase until the year I retire so whatever I have is new and replaces turning in the Ipad!
