As announced in the Summer Seller update, we recently made a change that required sellers to list their items for 14 days at the same price before creating a markdown sale event. This policy was enacted to reduce the negative experiences customers were experiencing from some sellers abusing the markdown feature. We know this is not representative of our seller community as a whole. We heard your feedback and we understand the enforcement was a challenge for sellers providing value to our customers.
Starting immediately, you will be able to create markdown events again immediately after listing.
As we move into the holidays, our biggest priority is ensuring you have an easy and successful selling season. We will continue to evaluate whether changes to this feature need to be made in 2019.
As always, thank you for selling on eBay.
