I'm in Australia too.

Please update back here when you call Ebay - I'm up tp 1600 needing updating & counting.

It looks to me as if they are changing over to new categories/heading/topics etc.. & our info will not be transferred over.  When you put in authors, titles etc.. it says above them that this is info which will be required in the future.  Leading me to believe that this is the new format & we will all have to comply.

That's just my take on it - hope I'm wrong.
