    Ebay being a pain in the...

    Just got an email:

    We're writing to let you know that as of February 25, at least 114 of your Good 'Til Cancelled (GTC) listings are missing product identifiers—which will be required for automatic renewal starting February 29. Note that any GTC listings not updated in time will end on their calendar renewal date on or after February 29, and will need to be re-created as new listings without any sales history.

    Besides making sure they automatically renew, there are big benefits to adding product identifiers to your listings now, including: •Greater exposure. In general, sellers who add product identifiers to their listings benefit from better visibility in search results.
    •Increased chance of selling. If your item is listed in the eBay catalog, product reviews may be added to your listing automatically—which can turn interested shoppers into confirmed buyers.
    •Better visibility in promotions. Adding product identifiers now gives you a better chance of being included in programs such as marketing emails, merchandising, and special promotions



    So I get to spend the rest of my week working on this

    To bad you don't keep up with eBay announcements
    The last 3 posts I have copied and pasted for you >> February 23rd, Jan 7th and Dec 1st
    There were more then a couple prior to that
    Seems it might be your fault since you waited til the last minute >> So I get to spend the rest of my week working on this

    February 23rd >> Take action before February 29 to ensure your Good

    On January 7th eBay announced they would pay 2.5 cents for each one you updated thru January 31st
    So 114 times 2.5 = $2.85

    Add product identifiers to non-compliant listings and get a 2.5¢ credit on promoted listings ad fees for each listing you update in January | eBay Announcement Page


    Prior to that they reminded you on December 1st >> Sellers Just a reminder—use product identifiers to boost visibility for your listings
    Sellers: Just a reminder

    I had read your complaint as eBay waited til the last minute to inform you these changes had to be made and was just pointing out you had months to make the changes
    The 2.5 Cent per listing offer expired January 31st >> so no worries there

    If you want to play in eBays sandbox you have to follow their rules
