I'm trying to export my eBay listings to an excel file so I can quickly edit a spelling error that is common to all of them. I use to be able to select all the listings I wanted to edit and from the bulk editor I could then send them to an excel file. As of right now that is no longer an option and I'm wondering if I just need to use a different process?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I think Selling Manager Pro used to be able to do that. Now we have Seller Hub and its bulk editing tool.
If you are trying to correct a spelling error in the description, you could use the bulk find/replace option in the bulk editor's "item description" field. However, if the error is embedded in a lot of HTML, eBay's tool might not work. They've recently optimized the tool for plain text instead of HTML, so no telling what might happen.
If the typo is in the titles, then eBay's Seller Hub > Reports > Uploads "price and quantity" report would be a good spreadsheet to use.
What field contains the spelling error? There may be other tools out there.
I see this one needs updating, and this one should work as it is one single string of text.
Currently we are ONLY accepting payment through PayPal

It was in the description field. I just went back through and edited each listing independently, but I just don't understand why they would remove the option to download listings in bulk to make editing things like this much faster...

I've been beating that drum for years. Sellers want to download all of their data, but eBay only wants to provide specific data fields. I suspect they don't want to make it that easy to grab all your data and move to another platform. The two significant fields that don't get downloaded are item descriptions and photos. Both of those can be fat files, compared to all the other data, and eBay may not want to spend the processing power to gather up that data and then transfer it in multiple downloadable zip files to the requestor. I have data gathering programs for both of those features that have delivered as many as 80 fat zip files per single download request. That is a lot for the server to process and zip and a lot for the user to download and unzip.
