Yes, it's totally frustrating!  I now have over 3000 to list the item specifics (all the info required is already there!!!)  Ebay advice is that all current listings will be OK, but once you want to relist they must have all the new format item specifics. And, of course,  all new listings have to have the new format - that's the easy part.

I'm just amending as many a day as fits in with my schedule - figure it's going to take me a good 4 months.

Good luck to us all!!!

Does "relist" include when GTC renews?

I was updating the specifics  - Just realised  that the additional specifics that I thought had gone, were hidden way  way down in the menu, so now I have put a lot in twice;   e.g.  series, illustrated, illustrator, etc.   which I had originally but I thought had been deleted.   😠

I don't believe so.  Only when you start as a new listing.

There was nothing to indicate that I needed to scroll UP to find a panel of pre-filled specifics when addressing the "Required soon" items . 

Most were correct, so choosing to "Accept all" was much quicker than filling them all in one by one, as I had been doing before I discovered the hidden panel.

And I seem to have gotten off lightly, I feel for all you book sellers with thousands of listings, so frustrating.

Yes ella is an eBay employee - she posted on the Au boards accidentally, she is regularly on the US boards

Hi Lynne  I could not call ebay as the phone number option has gone.  I went on to Chat and someone tried to tell me how to update the listings ha ha.  So the long and short of it is I asked him to get someone to call be so I could get some outcome. I get back to you when I get a call

Thanks Cheryl.  Good luck - I can't see any way around it, so I've been updating away.  Figure it will take me at least four months, as I'm just doing it when I have time.

Will make sure all my new listings & relists are compliant.

Regards

Lynne
