SIZE Under "Required" Fields Missing on my Men's Clothing Listings - When Revising Listing

[rugged_outback_outfitters_llc]

I went to revise a few listings this morning as I regularly do.  As I went through them, ALL, I mean ALL the shirt listings I went into had a BLANK SIZE Box under the "Required Fields".  Then I went to my short listings and found the exact same problem there.  A blank "size" box under the "Required" heading.  There was another box further down with size that appear not to be a required field (no red star/ different category) and had the size in it.  What happened to all the sizes I placed in the size box under the "REQUIRED" field with the red star next to it?    When I listed every single clothing item, I put in the size in that "Required" category "Size" box.  Now it appears to me that box may have been moved down to a lower area of the screen and another box, possibly a "NEW" one has been added that is currently showing as empty when I go in to revise any of my clothing listings.   I have not been able to find one size box under "Required" with the red star next to it yet when in the listing as revising it this morning, that is filled out, not a single one with the red star next to it.  Every last one has been empty.   I have a significant amount of listings and cannot image trying to add this back to each one.  Feeling very frustrated right now.

I see the size still shown on your listings in the item specifics

but, as you say when you go to revise on men's shirts, for my stuff.......

There are now 3 sections of item specifics:

Required/Recommended/additional;  additional seems to be what we may have added to item specifics.

In Required, it looks like all sizes are set to 0, but there is also a size box in additional which shows the size we put in and fortunately that is still showing on the listing.

There are additional complaints that the size filter is not working......I assume it must be set to the "required box" which didn't pickup the sizes that were put in, but the listing actually did pickup the size from the "additional size box".  People have said Ebay has said they are "working on the problem".......hopefully they will NOT screw it up completely and kill the "additional size box" and then require us to go back and input all the sizes in the "required box"...........

Every clothing category was affected by major category and item specifics changes that went into effect today.

Every clothing category is affected by the changes being made today. From what I can see, they are still in the process of making the changes. The old category is still active but the item specifics have started to change. Look for the category to change next.

The size is still in the active listing- it only disappears when you go to edit the listing. You will need to re-select the size and also add in the Department with the way it currently stands. However- I would hold off on making any of these changes until they officially move everything to the new categories and the old categories are no longer available because the item specifics can change even more in that time.

In the meantime everyone who doesn't have a backup of their item specifics can use this tool to download them: https://www.isdntek.com/ebaytools/ItemSpecificScanner.htm

Yup, active listings show required fields, but batch changes can't be done because of false flags currently stating:

• The item specific Size is missing.
• The item specific Style is missing.
• The item specific Color is missing.
• The item specific Dress Length is missing.
• The item specific Skirt Length is missing.
• The item specific Size Type is missing.
• The item specific Type is missing.
• The item specific Sleeve Length is missing.

I would have to update each of these for 102 of my listings manually before I can switch my handling time back to 1 day. Currently at 4 days(vacation) and that hurts visibility(?).

At least there are no fees involved.

It gets better, gang. This is the list of sizes under the Size item specific that I can chose from for my plus size clothing listings.  Even worse, buyers cannot search by size (I just tried, there is no option for IS=size right now).
