Optimization of trading cards listings

[scotso53]

What a JOKE!  Can someone please explain to me why grade and sport haven't been transferred into this new format?  Why am I required to add all those items when they were all in the original listing?  Does E-Bay not have any programmers that are competent enough to have been able to transfer all this information from the original format to the new format?  

Once again, E-Bay has taken small sellers to the woodshed.

in 8 years, this is the worse change!  all 11,000 of my listings will need this  by end of July or they disappear!  it now reads 6400 and climbing to 11k.

I’m officially done with buying anything baseball card related on this God awful website. I’m not about to search for a specific baseball card item in a mixed up sea of football, basketball, and God only know what else in the same category. I hope this financially comes back to cost Ebay millions of dollars long term. Sadly, it will also ruin thousands of sellers as well.

this from Brian on another thread:

I've heard back from our tech team. They've let me know that the item specifics may appear blank while the data is fully processed during this category transition. It's expected that it could take up to 5 days for the previously filled out item specifics to appear again.
