Seller Update

TAKE ACTION

• Use bulk editing tools to make the required updates to your listings: add your dispatch time to Good ‘Til Cancelled listings by the end of October 2009.
• Take a look at our checklist for required updates to listings where you can use bulk editing.

What’s changing in the bulk editing tool?
We’re introducing a find and replace feature for item description into the Mass Listing Editor in My eBay.  This will allow you to revise your item descriptions in bulk. You’ll also be able to apply sales tax (and VAT, where applicable) to listings in bulk.

Will the editing restrictions be lifted from all listing formats?
No. Restrictions will only be lifted from Fixed Price listings. Other formats will continue to have the same restrictions as today.

Which fields will I be able to revise on multi-quantity Fixed Price listings after a sale?
You’ll be able to edit almost all fields. The exceptions include Title, Categories, Format and Duration.

What about Fixed Price listings with outstanding Best Offers?
You’ll be limited to revising only a few listing fields until you answer all outstanding Best Offers on the listing. Once all offers are answered (accepted, rejected, expired or retracted), you’ll be able to change most of the fields.

How do I edit a live listing?
To edit a live listing, simply follow these steps:

• Click My eBay at the top of any eBay page
• In the left column, click Sell
• Find the listing you want to revise and select it by checking the box beside it
• Click the “Edit” button

When will my Good ‘Til Cancelled listings be required to include dispatch time?
You have until end October to update your Good 'Til Cancelled listings with your dispatch time. However, we encourage sellers to start updating these fields as soon as possible on their Good ‘Til Cancelled listings. You already need to specify these fields on new listings and relists for most other listing formats.
