What I would like to suggestion for consideration that in the seller hub and specifically in the tasks section can eBay give us a link telling us that these listings are set to renew as GTC listings within the next 24 to 48 hours, and then the link takes us to a page showing only those listings? Sellers can then end the listings or edit them with updated info, or do nothing.
I realize the seller hub already has a link for listing ending today and I guess I want 24 or 48 hours heads up to show in the tasks section as many sellers are saying they will need to do this almost daily.
I also understand using active listing page and sorting by different time frames that will allows us to gather similar sets of listings for changes.
Good Luck Selling!

Is there any chance all the GTC posts could be combined into 1 thread and monitored so that every one does not start a new one?

Thank you for the improvements to Item Specifics data entry! It did not go unnoticed. Easier and faster for some entries, especially the Language Item Specific.
Could we have a chat topic on the announced change re Item Specifics and the Product Catalog in the future?

Hi,
Buyers can not make repeat purchases in a 30 day period using the cart - only buy it now is available. This means they can not make multiple purchases without paying duplicate shipping - full shipping on each item.
I was wondering if, with the shift to all GTC listings, if this might be on the list to be changed, since this will now impact even more items?
thanks,
Sue

I'm sure eBay keeps track of how many people have spoken up for or against the GTC requirement. Please report those numbers.

Hi @papermoneyforme, while we may create specified boards for related announcements initially, the Community is free to begin new conversations as they see fit beyond that time. Centralizing discussions has pros and cons, particularly as the length of the conversation grows. Allowing new discussions to pop up and grow or fade naturally serves the Community best in most situations.

Hi @goodluckselling - I can definitely pass your suggestion to the Seller Hub folks! I'm sure they'd also love to hear from you, if you use the 'Comments?' link in the upper right hand corner you can send them any thoughts you have on other improvements or features you'd like to see in the future.
As you note, you can see that now within the Overview section, or by sorting your active listings by Time Remaining, but more places with this info never hurt. 🙂

It was explained to me that the service metrics compared us to peers selling similar items at similar prices in similar categories. In my category however, that does not appear to be the case. Big ticket item sellers are being compared to high volume low priced item sellers leaving us at a serious disadvantage, almost ensuring at some point many of us will be paying penalty rates simply for selling high quality and high priced items.
This is easily confirmed by the fact that the service metrics show INR claims significantly higher then SNAD return rate. That is not something you would expect to find on big ticket item sales comparisons, but rather where low value items are too cheap to be worth returning and too cheap to be worth buying tracking! How ebay can call feedback manipulating $3 item sellers shipping with a postage stamp my peer simply makes no sense! There is no way sellers with an average of selling price over all of $266 at high volume would have more INR's then SNAD returns. Can someone please look into this and see if it is a glitch or error?
