How will these changes impact sellers?

Recurring listings
Any seller who automatically relists items in any of the above categories using a third party or eBay tool (such as Turbo Lister or Selling Manager Pro) will need to make a bulk edit of listings to ensure all items are listed within the correct category number.

New listings in these categories
For Turbo Lister and third party listing tools you will need to download updates to ensure the category structure reflects this change.

Important note for all sellers
Please be aware that certain brand name categories will be created within the Jewellery category. Items of these brands will be required to be listed in their respective categories while items compatible with, related or unrelated to the brand name are required to be listed in a different category.

Ensure you use Item Specifics and include appropriate keywords in your titles to help facilitate the relevancy of searches for buyers. Any existing listing will automatically be migrated to the new category structure. Item Specifics will remain a part of the listing process.

The eBay team
