Hi everyone, I'm hoping some one can give me advice on the new fields ebay is requiring sellers to fill. My main concern is these fields: author, book title, language. On my template (I sell songbooks listed in non-fiction books), these fields are not included so I'm not exactly sure how I can update my listings. Does anyone know if this is do-able ? Something like C:Author or C:BookTitle or C:Language ?
Thanks for any help or advice!

I downloaded the category template for the books category 261186, where your books currently appear, and that template provides the required "C:" fields you want.
*C:Author
*C:Book Title
*C:Language
Based on the number of mandatory fields marked with an asterisk, you may have quite a few other "C" fields to add.
Below is the header list that I just downloaded from eBay, although with all the recent changes, I don't know if it remains current. eBay also has a downloadable list of suggested options for each field, or you can work through an online listing and pick out the ones you will likely use.
*Action(SiteID=US|Country=US|Currency=USD|Version=745|CC=UTF-8),CustomLabel,*Category,StoreCategory,*Title,Subtitle,Relationship,RelationshipDetails,*ConditionID,*C:Author,*C:Book Title,*C:Language,*C:Format,*C:Genre,*C:Intended Audience,*C:Narrative Type,*C:Publication Year,*C:Publisher,*C:Topic,*C:Type,C:Book Series,C:Bundle Description,C:California Prop 65 Warning,C:Country/Region of Manufacture,C:Custom Bundle,C:Era,C:Ex Libris,C:Features,C:Illustrator,C:Inscribed,C:Item Height,C:Item Length,C:Item Weight,C:Item Width,C:Literary Movement,C:MPN,C:Number of Pages,C:Personalized,C:Signed,C:Signed By,C:Vintage,,PicURL,GalleryType,*Description,*Format,*Duration,*StartPrice,BuyItNowPrice,*Quantity,PayPalAccepted,PayPalEmailAddress,ImmediatePayRequired,PaymentInstructions,*Location,ShippingType,ShippingService-1:Option,ShippingService-1:Cost,ShippingService-2:Option,ShippingService-2:Cost,*DispatchTimeMax,PromotionalShippingDiscount,ShippingDiscountProfileID,DomesticRateTable,*ReturnsAcceptedOption,ReturnsWithinOption,RefundOption,ShippingCostPaidByOption,AdditionalDetails,ShippingProfileName,ReturnProfileName,PaymentProfileName

Hi thanks for the response. The c:author field seems to be working ok but the c:book title field is not uploading. I'm not getting any errors... it just doesn't add the info. I tried changing it to c:booktitle (no space) to see if it made a difference. Again, successful upload but the book title is not there. When I do it manually, I have to add the book title as a new title & create a field for it... I wonder if that's what the problem is ? Thx for any input
