eBay made changes to standardize their sizing of clothing and shoes in August. Any listings that did not meet the new requirements needed to be updated. That date has passed and eBay is hiding listings that need to be updated until they are.
Here is the information about the change.
Starting in August, we’re standardizing sizes across Apparel and Footwear listings to help your items show up in searches and give buyers clearer sizing information.
To continue listing and selling without interruption, review and update your listings to use supported sizes before this change takes effect. Please note that you’ll be unable to create or revise listings with unsupported sizes.
Supported sizes include:
-Alpha sizes (2XS, XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL)
-Numeric sizes (where applicable)
-Region-specific formats (US, UK, EU)
To see supported sizes for your category, list an item and view the size options available from the drop-down menu.
What you need to do:
Review your active listings and update any unsupported sizes in the Size field.
If you're using My eBay: Go to Active Listings in My eBay
If you're using Seller Hub: Go to Active Listings in Seller Hub
You may need to update items where the size field has:
-Blank, missing, placeholder sizes
-Custom size descriptions, like “See description” or “N/A”
-Multiple sizes in a single field, like ‘S/M/L’
If there’s no exact match, choose the closest option and add more detail in your item description. Please note that, for some listings, sizes may now appear in a standardized format where there was a clear match. For example, “Medium” may appear as “M”.
If you use APIs, File Exchange, or third-party tools, make sure your sizing matches eBay’s supported options.
