I have been slowly working on updating required soon item specifics in our store because we have over 1200 listings. We were down to under 400 listings to finish. Now, when I go to revise them, the act like they are fixed then pop back up that I need to enter "color and size". 95% of my listings are variation ads, and the drop down fields have color and size listed. There is no where for me to add the color and size in the revising item specifics. Anyone have a work around? This is just ridiculous. I will not be recreating 1244 listings on ebay.

Seems like I have a similar issue. I now have "Add required item specifics" 44. When I click on the link it tells me size required, on a listing that has multiple sizes listed in the same listing. This morning when I was doing my shipping I had 1 of those items and I just thought it was a mistake but now I am up to 44 and no idea what I am supposed to fix.

I sure hope this is a bug.

Us too! I had gone thru everything and was down to 4 listings that needed "required item specifics" and I need to go find the material content. So those 4 are legit. But yesterday and today the number is increasing and it is saying on my variation listings I need to add for example size. So for example they are womens shoes and the variation has womens sizes and color. Ebay is saying I need to add the size and color item specifics. What am I supposed to do? I don't want to call ebay 😫😫

I have the same issue. I cannot "fix" a listing that already has the required information. For me, it is clothing sizes that already exist in the listing, but I get a notification saying Size is a requirement. It started with two random listings yesterday (Jan 4th) and jumped up to 7 this afternoon. Just now it went to 144! I called Ebay CS this afternoon. They patiently told me it was a database problem that was 'fixed' (probably like my listings need 'fixed'...) in late December. I informed them the problem still exists. They had no other helpful advice for me other than to wait a week to see if it goes away. In the meantime, I could end and relist the items to see if that helps. At my expense, of course. Sorry I don't have anything useful to add... other than to not bother calling Customer Service. I am just relieved to know I am not alone! 🙂 Misery loves company, right?!

Same thing here. Just started January 4 it seems. Items with multiple size variations now say "size required" in red. Assuming it is a glitch, but no idea if/when they will actually fix it. Hopefully before the deadline!

This problem with sizes on listings with variations seems to be a problem with a number of sellers......is it being addressed? Considering that we are supposed to have these "Required" IS updated by Feb?

Having the same problem with being told by the system that size and color are required on variation listings where size and/or color are used as a variable.

Has anyone from eBay looked at this, we are getting a lot of SIZE REQUIRED for the variation parent when there is no size in this it is only in the children..............another item specific glitch no doubt. I do wish they would stop messing about, the system works fine for a few days then some anorak at eBay decides to change a font or layout and boom! very frustrating

Size and Color which are already being used in multi variation listings are shown as required soon for us too. The list keeps growing each day.

I have just under 10,000 items...All are vinyl Lps..and the new item specifics are ridiculous..Why you say?...1st item specific is the Artist or Band of the Item...2nd is the Title...3rd is clicking that it is a record...ALL OF WHICH ARE ALREADY VISIBLE IN THE TITLE OF EVERY SINGLE LISTING I HAVE....so now im having to cut and paste...and for what?...other than wasting our time how is this supposed to help anyone...if the customer doesnt read the title...they arent going to dig through all the junk below the title and description

danilo1 · ‎06-09-2021

I am also trying to fix the mandatory "add required soon" fields (over 125), such as title and format for media I am selling. Well, after I go in and make those corrections, only a few will state "Listing was successfully edited"...but most do not refresh, EVEN after redoing them 3-4 times! This is ridiculous...I am not going to repeat these steps multiple times for so many items!

PLEASE eBay techies, make this easier or I will quit selling on here.

Even though I've revised all my listings, every morning I get a new list of things I need to revise. It's always exterior color and exterior material. Meanwhile all that information is already there. Ebay fix your sh*t! So done with this nonsense.
