Listings with invalid product identifiers will no longer be accepted.

Just receive an email from eBay;

We're writing again to inform you that some of your listings are still missing a valid product identifier. eBay now requires all new and manufacturer refurbished item listings in most categories to include a valid brand, manufacturer part number (MPN), and global trade item number (GTIN).

Starting this week, you will no longer be able to relist non-Good 'Til Cancelled items without including valid product identifiers. And, starting the week of September 18, 2017, your Good 'Till Cancelled listings won't automatically renew until valid product identifiers are provided.

Goes on to tell why this is needed and how to find UPC..blah, blah, blah   but gives no clue how to determain which of my 2,904 listing they are refering too.

Is there a tool to find them?

Or do I just wait to see which listings are ended?

List everything as used?

( I could have listed another 1,000 item in the time I already spent adding UPC,  removing active content and making mobil friendly, now another time waster.)

By reading the thread on THE CATALOG anyone can see the mistakes and problems with UPC and ISBN we are having but before they even begin to fix the catalog they are going to punish us????

True about vintage!

I sell books on another ID, and most pre-1975 don't have ISBN numbers. More annoying, non-US books which DO have ISBN numbers are not accepted by eBay as valid.

Even Penguin titles, and Penguin is the largest publisher in the USA having bought most of the older US and Canadian houses.

I buy brand new items and copy the UPC numbers right off the box or item and Ebay consistently tells me they are wrong. Seems to be the data importer for Ebay makes consistent typos when entering the numbers. Seems now I need to label these brand new items as non branded. What a farce!!!!!!!!!!!
