Hi Everyone,

This is Mike Maffeo from the Seller Team. I'm here to tell you about some changes to the listing process for categories that offer pre-filled item information.

When you list an item in these categories, eBay can automatically fill in product details and even add a stock photo. Taking advantage of this feature is a best practice because it saves you time, makes it easier for you to list an item, and increases your exposure to buyers who are using standard search engines or online shopping comparison sites to find specific products on eBay. (Read more about pre-filled information here.)

There are two changes that will affect listings in all categories that offer the option of pre-filled item information:
1) The term "pre-filled item information" is changing to "product details".
2) If you use Bulk Revise to edit multiple listings at one time, you can now add product details to your listings automatically in these categories.

A few additional changes apply only to listings in the Blenders, DVD Players, and Vacuums categories: eBay is making it easier to add product details when you relist an item. During the relisting process, you will be taken to the “find your product page” where you can add product details if your original listing did not use them. This change also applies to when you relist more than one listing at a time with Selling Manager. You always have the ability to skip this step and continue on with the relist process without adding product details.

When you relist items that do not have product details in the Vacuums and DVD Players categories, eBay will occasionally recommend products that match the information in your listing. You can reject or accept the eBay recommendation and continue with relisting.

These changes are part of eBay’s ongoing effort to make it easier for you to list your items – and for buyers to find them.

Sincerely,
Mike Maffeo
Seller Team
