Changes
I ran across the same problems this morning. Let's see - I listed it under the "baseball" category, it is in the "baseball" category in my store, but now I also have to enter "baseball" in the item specifics.
I have to enter a team, even though it may be a lot of 50 1971 Topps cards that have several teams, and when I start typing in the team name, even though I am listing in the baseball category, teams from other sports are in the drop down menu. I always used the graded or ungraded item specifics, but it wasn't mandatory, but now it is. I hope they don't make me do that for all 900 of my BIN's when they are automatically relisted at the beginning of the month. (That is another mandatory change that pisses me off.) These changes don't sound like much, but it is time consuming to enter all of the item specifics for each item, especially when the layout of the specifics changes, depending on what you are entering.

I don't have nearly as many cards listed as you guys, so I really feel for ya.
But I'll complain a bit anyway......, they didn't even support "bulk changes" Typically I can select as many listings as I want, then make the same change to all the listings at the same time. Looked like it was working, but didn't. Fortunately I was only re-listing about 50 cards, so I ended up cutting and pasting "not specified" or "see photos" or "ungraded" into all the now-required specifics for each individual listing where appropriate. Thank goodness they allowed me to paste those in the "player name" and "team name" fields. Seems like they would want to make it easy to list things. |

Rick, You brought up a good point. What happens to the BINs that are relisted which previously did not have these mandatory fields included? |

EBay has become a Dinosaur company. The head doesn't even know what the tail is doing. The onlything constant with them is change.

I just checked. I have 190 BIN's that ended in the last few days. None of them automatically relisted.

Editing in bulk
I can't seem to get the listings updated using the bulk editor. I can't find any option to update the graded/ungraded, although the listing are all flagged as errors because of this. I'm not able to update the item specifics for the correct sport, except individually.
I'm not going to change them individually. Hopefully this will be straightened out.

I noticed this today too. I didn't feel like filling out all those categories so I just entered a period in each field and it accepted it. It's a dumb change. Hopefully they don't stick with it.

I doubt eBay would reverse this decision. Once they change things, that's the way it stays.
Whoever makes these dumbass decisions does not see the big picture. These changes might work for a few but it doesn't work for most. |

You can set BINs to not relist on their own. It just isn't the default.

No
No, all BIN's are automatically relisted, unless you end the listing. In the past, you could choose not to automatically relist, but now you can't. You can with auctions, but not with BIN's.

Wait it gets better. If you're listing a group lot you STILL have to choose a team. Haven't looked to see what happens if you're listing a complete set.

This has not affected me........yet! I listed over 250 new auction items as I always have making none of the new changes mentioned earlier this week with no issues. I've also had over 100 BIN automatic relists this week go smoothly. I use Seller Sourcebook.

Yep, I noticed this late last week. So annoying. It's stupid, because - 20+ years in, eBay ostensibly has "experts" at things like collectibles who are supposed to advise on these type of changes. Clearly it's not happening. I was already a bit over their "standard" description which if you didn't fill anything out would put something in the details like "Card is in Very Good condition, shipped with a USPS First Class Package."
If anything, they should have made the detailed description mandatory and not pre-filled, so that sellers would be prompted to provide a little more detail about why they think this or that raw card is VG+ or EX-MT and not NM. In the early days of eBay you used to see that frequently, but it's long gone by the wayside now.

You will need to put in every team name if you are listing a set. I also heard that next year, you will need to include the weight and IQ of every player that you list.

Really? Since they made the good til cancelled only change (another dumb one), everything does it automatically. any way to fix this would be good info.

Yeah, there's a way to turn it off when listing. I just did it for the item I'm selling.

Man I just listed my first card since the change and it was brutal. Really hope there is a way around this.
