Re: Listing keeps saying item specifics are missing

PLEASE fix this redundant nonsense!  The item specific "size" should not have to be noted TWICE in the item specifics!  Who on earth do they have programming this site??  There is absolutely NO testing done or quality control!  Why don't they TEST software BEFORE making changes go live??  These changes cause seller THOUSANDS of hours of work when we could be listing new items??  I really don't think they have a clue how this impacts us!

Re: Listing keeps saying item specifics are missing

Same problem here and I'm listing in the DVD's & Movies catagory, trying to take advantage of the free auction style promotion, which of course ends tomorrow.  I'm trying to list 117 items and all are coming up with item specific errors.  Some say the item specific language is missing, some say the item specific actor is missing and some say the item specific studio is missing.  There are promotional music video tapes, so none of them have actor's or studios!

Re: Listing keeps saying item specifics are missing

that list is ridiculous, they seem to have put the size of everything under the sun to choose from...vast majority of those are irrelevant to women’s dresses but you still have to scroll through to find the one you need

I also confirm this is still an ongoing issue in the Sports Mem, Cards & Fan Shop > Sports Trading Cards > Auto Racing Cards category, that has NOT been resolved as of 09:30h EST, brian@ebay  and @seller_news_team .

 

Upon attempting to relist unsold listings, I repeatedly receive the errors...

 

The item specific Sport is missing.
The item specific Grade is missing.
The item specific Original/Reprint is missing.
The item specific Team is missing.
The item specific Player is missing.


All of your listings have errors and none of them can be submitted until the errors are fixed.

 

However, somehow eBay is able to automatically relist some of my active fixed price listings, which I inadvertently forgot to cancel before their 30-day duration ended, and take away some of my promotional free listings!

UPDATE: I am able to relist my unsold listings manually and individually by populating the required item specifics detailed above, but still NOT in bulk, brian@ebay  and @seller_news_team  .

 

So, it looks like I will be up around the clock for the next three days, in order to manually relist 500 listings...better put on a pot of coffee and put some toothpicks in my eyes.

Re: Listing keeps saying item specifics are missing

You may be able to LIST things but buyers may not find them due to the fact that in a lot of cases, buyers cannot filter by size!  This is a huge problem for clothing sellers.  Watch the RockstarFlipper youtube channel...he put up a live video screensharing the problem this morning.  It's a great video that describes the whole problem.  eBay is going to lose a LOT more buyers and lots of sellers like myself are not going to make sales. 😞

Brian,

There is still an issue with this change on existing listings.  Previously the required size was "Size (Women's)" or Size (Men's)" which we filled out when creating listings.  Now this has been changed to "Size", and what we previously filled into the old version was not converted to the new "Size".  Are we now going to be required to manually populate this new "Size"?


Just to reiterate the question, again:

Are we going to be required to update and manually populate the Size field in every already-existing listing?!
