Peanutbob here;
have any of your computer guru's ever heard this one. "keep it simple stupid" in short, all of us out here in auction land, for the most part, are not computer wizards. we just want to list our auction's without all the promlems. there must be some way to get it through to you guys that we want a simple format for our auctions. but it seems like your company's guru's just want to show us what they can do with a computer. dont you think it is time to gear your company to what your customers want?

If you want simple, there is always eBay's 'Sell Your Item Form', or you could spend some time learning about computers, which wouldn't hurt you none.

In defense of AW: They aren't doing too bad for a basically free service. It could be worse...they could be charging like E-Bay AND crashing all the time.
Looking at their new "Create Auction" pages, it seems these will use up less server/network resources. They "streamlined" things which, in the long run, should make the site run more smoothly (more better?).

hi i listed on ebay using the new a/w form tonight! filled it all out then realized NO GALLERY BOX TO CHECK??(i usually use gallery)had to list it with no gallery.
i wrote to them & asked if they will be adding the box? as you know with gallery you do it when you first list it No going back & adding it.Then i noticed it had pre-selected for me "SELLER PAYS" on shipping NoT!,then i noticed no billpoint box, then eeek even after i selected my a/w pics NO URL for Picture icon.( i had to go to another of my auctions get the url "cleardot.gif one copy & paste,then go back & revise my new auction with pic url,fix the shipping,click on billpoint etc..a lot of time..(tried to list direct at ebay on another auction with their free 2 picture service & got an illegal operation notice & computer shut down..)
nice form short, but a lot is missing..auction watch has been great for me but gheesh no gallery & pic url,is pretty basic??? thanks for listening...if anyone knows if it's me or the form please post
ps i do like the new way to load more than one pic at once by clicking on ctrl & picking them. thanks for listening good luck,pam oregon
