Message from ebay about listing that need to be revised....no listings in message?

[frock_my_world]

Received a message via the ebay system with the following in the title:

Update your listings now to ensure they comply with recent security, policy and listing requirements updates.

There is then a box below that says:  We've identified the listings that need to be revised and then below that is a bit of space and then a clickable link that just says ebay but with no list below and when I click on the ebay link it just takes me to a page that shows several scrolling lists, with photos, of items I've looked at recently, items I frequently search for, etc.  But nothing related to any items currently listed that need to be revised.

Anyone else get this message and have the same issue with not being able to see what listings they need me to revise and why?  And any suggestions for trying to figure out how which items I need to revise?

Yeah... everybody got one.

Everybody is clueless about this. I dont know what to do so.

Go to your Active listings page in Seller Hub or in Selling Manager that shows the grid of items for sale. Checkmark all of the items and click the "Edit" button above or below the grid to edit in bulk.



That will open eBay's Bulk Edit And Relist (BEAR) tool where the problem listings will be marked, as shown in the example below:

I was familiar with this tool but didn't think about using it in this way. Thanks!

Btw, it did not flag the "80 listings" ebay claims had a problem. Ebay customer service said message was a glitch. Today I got the same message warning again from ebay. Let's hope the "glitch" doesn't deiced to end 80 of my listings.

Thank you! I've used the bulk editor, but not like this!

Of my 480 listings... 2 listings had missing item specifics (Adult Medium was listed... I added 'Regular' for the size specific), and 3 listings had more than one Season listed (so my Spring and Summer kids' tops now say Summer only).

Geez, I sure hope they sell now. LOL

My message is for links in listing which I don't have. The only link I have is for my store and that code was generated by eBay not me. I pay $60/Mo. for a premium store I sure the heck should be able to have an "in eBay" link.

It's been posted by an ebay staff community member that it was a blank email sent out in error

I scanned your listings here:

29 listings have hidden non-eBay links, probably the result of copying content from other websites, like poshmark.com.

If you need help finding those links, run the scan above and then click the EXAMINE button on each red row. That will open the Sandbox tool that will locate the problem links. Scroll down and open the "Filtered" tab on the Sandbox tool, copy that repaired code, and paste it into the HTML tab of eBay's description editor when you revise your listing.
