Issue Regarding Lisiting in Clothing Resolved? Not by a Long Shot

This fiasco regarding these new fields that ebay recently instituted for clothing is far from over.  I am doing relistings and most of my size fields are empty. Why do I have to list the size twice?  What is this new Department field when below the field of Gender is there and clear.  All that needed to be done if ebay wanted these fields was to tell their programers to not touch older listings and require these fields be completed by new or renew listings.  It's just common sense.  This is just another ebay mess that will take time to fix.  Read this fast because ebay will remove this post because the don't like the truth

Issue Regarding Lisiting in Clothing Resolved? Not by a Long Shot

I know -- It kills me how they put out an announcing that the problem was "resolved" -- NOT SO.   As our listing automatically renew, or as we renew them or update anything ourselves, the SIZE will be missing. I just got done putting the sizes back in that they removed on about 230 items. I guess I have it easy compared to the many sellers who have 500, 1000 or even 2000 listings in clothing.  I would have just given up if I had that many.

 

We are PAYING these people their salaries to sabotage our businesses and cost us time and money.  WE are paying them -- NOT their stock holders.  All sellers, large and small - Ebay is paid by us yet they act like we are working for them.  

 

I have lost money/sales and my time is worth alot.  I just raised alot of prices to make up for lost sales and my time.  Some things may not sell at the higher prices but nothing hardly sells anyway - better than working for nothing if I do make a sale.

 

Now they don't even let buyers choose a SIZE in search ??? Go figure. It's NUTS.

 

I am also going to end alot of listings before they renew -- no use beating those dead horses. I have tried all the tweeking available and even tried promoting every darn thing,& I have given up because there is nothing I can do on this end  when I am subject to Ebay's policies, glitches and total screwups eating away at my profit.

The issue seems to be resolved 100% for me. I just relisted all my clothing (1:00pm Pacific Time) and the correct sizes were still attached. I'm going to check a few more listings to make sure. 

 

I feel for those of you who were scrambling yesterday to manually input your sizes. I chose to wait, and I'm glad I did.
