 ***Coming soon: Item Numbers Expanding*** |
18 May, 2006 | 08:06PM BST
Over time, we will be increasing the number of digits included in our item numbers from 10 to 19 to ensure the site can accommodate the growing number of listings.
The first increase will take place towards the end of May 2006. Current item numbers will not be impacted, but after this change, all new listings will have item numbers in the 11-digit range.
After a few weeks, the number of digits will increase again and all new listings will have item numbers in the 12-digit range.
We encourage sellers to check their business tools - such as spreadsheets, letter and label templates - to make sure they can handle item numbers with increased digits. If you use specialised software applications for listing and managing item data, please check with your developer to make sure they can support item numbers up to 19 digits.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this digit expansion and will keep you informed as the dates for these changes approach.
Regards,
The eBay.co.uk and eBay.ie Teams
