IDK that to be true. Certainly sometimes it is but sometimes it isn't. I think it is going to depend on the suggestions being offered and how complicated the change would be before roll out.

I still have my beloved ALF. I'm guessing I really need to get busy and list this large stack of books I have here before they change my world with the new listing form!!!
I just wish they weren't trying to get all fancy with the new listing form [from what I've seen]. ALF works extremely well and if they just repeated that as close as they could in whatever computer language they need so that it is compatible with mobile functions, seems to me that would be the best thing to do. But just my opinion. Which no one asked for of course!!! LOL

I as well am quite happy with the ALF - and with templates, it takes me few few min to list, just add title, specifications, photos, and fill in the title and few specs in description and done... does anyone know if templates will still work with the new listing tool?
In this thread https://community.ebay.com/t5/Seller-Hub/2021-Seller-Hub-New-Update-With-new-features-New-Listing-to... the OP reports that saved templates are not an option with the new listing tool. I do not have the new listing tool yet, so can not confirm.
@mcdougle4248 see post 9 on this thread. Harry Tempkin provided the roll-out dates to when the features will be added>> https://community.ebay.com/t5/Tools-Apps/New-unified-listing-tool-SUCKS-ebay/m-p/31546273#M31021

Bit confusing, Feb states "Listing Templates" then March states "Listing Description Templates" - are they saying that you will nedd two (2) templates for a listing now, one for the listing and one for the description part of the listing?

Listing Description Templates
@nuclearomen Description templates are something I use to insert a standard statement about offering combined shipping onto a newly created listing.
They are different from listing templates which would have all the information provided if that is what you need.
I don't use listing templates very often unless I am listing the same type of item in the same category.
@comics-scifi-collectibles
Templates - as they have been include all sections of a listing, so item specifics and description are in one template. The list suggests that there will need to be 2 templates used for a listing with the new tool, one for the listing, one for the description. Yes, of course, that's the whole idea of templates, you wouldn't use templates if your not listing in a particular category a lot. Example of my templates, I list in music - vinyl category, my template is as follows:
Some things are prefilled for specifics (obviously most are left blank and filled in at time of listing creation, can't prefill artist, label, duration, special attributes etc... as every title is different of course) but the template is made to the category so it's all easier then starting from scratch.
Then the item description, I have it all prefilled, I just need to enter band/title and the infor needed for that title and done. Which looks like the second photo when I list it.

@nuclearomen. My point is that there have always been two types of templates.
I don't think that we will have to add description templates to listings created with listing templates.
Time will tell....
