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

[buymycards]

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.

I guess AL , 10 and Yankees as default?

The Bay is lowballer buyer friendly not seller friendly .......always will be this way

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.

It changed on tuesday with no announcement. if you listed after that without this, you have some charmed existence.

You can write "i am not doing this" or "your mom" and it will still work. that's how I have now modified my templates in garagesale.

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.

eBay's experts still have the same condition listings for sports cards that haven't updated in the last 10 years:

Brand New, Like New, Acceptable, Very Good (no damage to the jewel case), and Good.

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.

Ok, eBay I am trying to do as you ask. I need help on this one. Which team should I enter?

[swarmee]

Springfield Isotopes

[Luke]

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

Or any checklist.

What about cards with multiple players from different teams?
