Would it be possible to also have a "Skip to ** Page" at the TOP of the Manage Your Products page, please? Since I can't manage them in categories (I know that someone else started that thread, and I vote YES for that), I have to go off the first page quite often. For every page that I want to skip, I have to first scroll to the bottom of the page and THEN hit "Continue to *** Page". If there were also one at the top, it would save a lot of time. Thanks.

To me paging is most logical at the bottom of the page. You'd only want to skip to the next page after viewing the contents of the current page. Once you've viewed the entire contents of that page, you are at the bottom.

If you are looking for a specific item, why not do a search?

I'm not shutting out the idea, just trying to find the logic of putting it up top.

I was thinking of making the same request.

The reason for me is that when I'm editing my listings, after I've saved, I am returned to the top of the first page no matter what page the listing I was working on was on. Being new and having circumstances change on the site, sometimes I am making changes to all the listings. I can't use the search since I don't know which listing was next.

I would like to see it at the top and the bottom.

I can see how that be very inconvenient. I don't think adding the paging to the top would alleviate the inconvenience entirely though. I'd propose something that would take you back to your last page you viewed rather than flipping through all of the pages again. (top or bottom). I'll see what I can come up with.

You're right, that would help.

I'd still like to see the next arrows at the top and bottom of the page as well, but I'm notoriously greedy.

seproductions (2/13/2008) Since I can't manage them in categories.


If you choose the category on the search and in the search term box pput a * the click search it will bring up all the listing in that category.

alikelystory has understood what I'm asking. When you do an edit, it returns you to the first page. Although a return to the same page would be very nice, it would still benefit me to have those "next" arrows at the top and the bottom, because I don't always go back to the same page to do the next edit. Also, after each edit, I preview the store to make sure that the item edited correctly.

The instance that would be most helped by having arrows top and bottom is "sell similar". Nearly all of my listings are done like that, then I don't have to retype all of the disclaimer stuff at the bottom. Okay, so you go to page three, hit "sell similar", alter your listing, and voila! You're at the front page, where you need to be, to view your new listing. Then, however, you want to return to the third page quickly and do a different "sell similar". It'd be nice to have those page numbers at the top.

This probably seems absurd to someone selling variations of the same item or large quantities of one item. When each of your items is unique, it means that you spend a lot of time flipping pages.

P.S. It would be great if all of the information below the description on the "sell similar" page could remain (shipping cost, inventory control, etc.). Sure would make listing a lot faster.

In my opinion, it always makes sense to have page navigation at both the top and bottom.

It just offers greater convenience for a variety of situations.
