This morning everyone of my listings were flagged for not having scale in the listing. They were there yesterday so they Ebay removed them to add additions work to the seller. Why ??????????? The title for each and every listing also has the scale listed. The so called improvements just added redundancy and more work . Anyone else have this happen

I don't understand what you mean by "not having scale in the listing". What scale are you talking about?

Maybe they want the scale written as 1:87 instead of 1/87, for example.

You can (and should) have the model scale in your title to boost the chances of a buyer actually seeing it, but what eBay is complaining about is that you don't have Item Specifics that list it there, presumably so buyers can use the scale value to narrow down their search results by either including or excluding your listing(s).

For example, I'm looking at your listing 363855355612, which does state 1/87 scale in the Title, but has no Item Specifics at all other than a UPC code. Did either you or eBay change the category? Right now I see it listed under Toys & Hobbies > Toy Models & Kits > Other Toy Models & Kits, but if it was transplanted there from someplace else, I think all its Item Specifics would have fallen off during the move.
