Missing Item Specifics when eBay adds new ones

Hi everyone, 

 

One of our listings has recently been added to the eBay catalog and this is where the trouble comes from. Since then we've been experiencing some issues almost every day.

Here is the link to the listing http://www.ebay.com/itm/272817408461. 

First, when the new item specifics appear, some of the settings disappear: see_no_evil, for example, "Charge sales tax according to the sales tax table" check disappears from the box.  

Our CrazyLister description templates are often replaced with the Inkfrog ones for some unknown reason.

This morning we found 7 duplicates of the main image in the product gallery in different sizes (they might be stock photos, don't know).  We removed most of them, but still, two of them are displayed on the listing and only one we can change in the gallery.

So the question is: when will this eBay magic stop? disappointed_relieved

 

Also, because of these new fields Custom Bundle, Modified Item, Non-Domestic Product some of other important item specifics were removed from the listing. What is the purpose of adding those to every listing on eBay if they are not that frequently used? thinking

 

On some other listings where we sell ( for example, Bluetooth headphones), there some improvements that can be done in the item specifics. 

Category: Consumer Electronics > Portable Audio & Headphones > HeadphonesChange category
Second category: Cell Phones & Accessories > Cell Phone Accessories > Headsets
1) Manufacturer Color is the same as Color. One can be left.

2) Connectors with checkboxes 

2.5 mm 3.5 mm (1/8 in) 6.3 mm (1/4 in) Lightning Mini XLR RCA USB USB 2.0 USB 3.0 USB-C    

and Connector(s) =Micro-USB with pre-filled type are the same fields.

 

Hope this will help to improve the selling and buying experience for all of us.

Re: Missing Item Specifics when eBay adds new ones

One major related problem imo, is that when eBay forced the new custom bundle, modified item & etc item specifics into existing listings they apparently didn't increase the total number of allowable item specifics. So if the seller goes to modify the listing they end up having to delete four or five of their own item specifics or the listing won't be accepted.  Seems if they were going to force add multiple new item specifics they'd also think to increase the total allowable by the same # to avoid major problems.
