Could you please provide updates on the following:
1. Stores have recently added a few new templates for newsletters, which I'm happy to see. We still do not seem to have the ability to manually curate the display of eligible items when creating a newsletter, however. Some time ago, eBay staff said this feature would be added to the newsletters. Is that still the plan? I can't imagine I'm the only store subscriber who wants to decide which products to display when sending out a newsletter.
2. We heard some months ago that improvements were coming to the listing frame, including more prominent branding for sellers on the listing page. Nothing has changed in my listing frame. Are changes still in the works, and if so, when/what can we expect?
3. What is the rollout status of the new listing tool? I realize I can opt in at any time, but have been holding off while it gets tweaked and (hopefully) improved. When will all sellers be opted in? Has the tool undergone any enhancements in response to seller feedback?
Thank you for any updates you can provide.

Hey @creativecrisis. Regarding your first two questions, we can get this over to our Stores team. They are quite busy right now with eBay Open next week 🙂 so we may not hear back from them right away. Therefore, we definitely recommend asking them at their booth next week (read more about eBay Open here). For the rollout with the new listing tool, it's still going through phases as it's being rolled out to all sellers. The Listing Tools team is consistently looking at the feedback provided by our sellers and are working on updates as the rollout continues.

Thank you. I doubt I will be at eBay open, but appreciate the tip. If the stores team are so terribly busy and can't answer the question, I'll post it again here in the future.

I started using the new listing tool when it was released and it sucked then.
They've made some changes so it isn't as bad as it was then.

The change is that the listing frame (the red line used to be the store banner and categories) has been removed. I guess more prominent branding for sellers on the listing page refers to the area below the listing description. These updates to the listing page have been made immediately after the announcement.
