Personalized SKUs?

Question

Hello,

Once upon a time, there used to be a field where I could fill in my own inventory number on my listings so I would know where said item was located when it sold. Is this feature gone? Am I missing it? If it is gone, how are others working around this issue? Any feedback is appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

It's not gone ðŸ™‚

Many people use the Custom Field / SKU for item location. It doesn't display to the buyer.

You will need to use the â€œAdvanced Listing Tool" or the Mobile App to use the SKU field. (The "Quick Listing Tool" does not have a SKU field)

A) On the "Advanced Listing Tool" form, to get Custom Field SKU

1) Click the "See Title Options" menu that is to the right of the Title
2) Flip the switch to add Custom Label (SKU)
3) Click Done
-- You should now have the SKU field on your screen

B) The Mobile App has SKU in "Item Specifics".

1) Click the Pencil beside Item Specifics
2) Scroll to the very bottom of the list

TIP:
If you still don't see a SKU field on your listings, then you need to Opt-In to "Seller Hub" on the website to enable that field on both the website and the mobile app.

Here are steps to use Seller hub

Then go back to your listing and you should be able to select the SKU field as described above.
