Has anyone else been experiencing a problem with contacting a seller on eBay posted items?

eBay on my PC doesn't always look like that. There is not always a box with seller information. Sometimes that information is on a single line above the the price and doesn't include the contact seller link. I just checked two different items and only one item had the box for seller information.

It's in the box, on the right hand side, of the listing price, etc., right under the sellers name (ID) and feedback score.

Can't miss it, also in that box, you can save the seller, and visit the sellers store, if they have one, or see more items the seller has.

No, it's not at the bottom of the page anymore.

I noticed that a while ago eBay moved the Contact Seller button and in the app there is no such thing anywhere... sometimes companies claim to "update" their service or software but I've noticed it's almost always a "downgrade"...

If you are watching the item, look on your watch list. Go to your watchlist or summary page. On the far right of the item there is a link that says 'More Actions', click on that and the link to 'contact seller' appears.

I just checked on an item I'm following.

For me, the "contact seller" thingy is in a box on the upper right called "seller information"

"Contact Seller" button/box on Ebay item for sale?

There use to be a 'contact seller box' on the item's page, usually down towards the lower area of the first page of a listing. It has disappeared for me over the past month or so.

There was an item posted just recently that listed some defects, but as I looked thru the photos I thought I saw a few more defects that were originally listed. I wanted to ask the seller a question about this, BUT could not find a box/button/ whatever method to pose that question to the seller????
