We told you back in May that we would be making a series of changes to the site in the week of 15th June. The purpose of this message is to give you an update on when we expect these changes to become available across the site.

As each change is launched successfully we will update this message to confirm the new functionality is available.

The planned schedule is below:

Some additional information on the changes:

Free Pictures in Clothing, Shoes & Accessories and Home & Garden categories
Pictures are now free in the Clothing, Shoes & Accessories and Home & Garden categories. Please manually select the boxes for the picture services to get them added to your listing. In a few days those boxes will be automatically selected for you when listing in the categories eligible for free pictures.

Multi-variation listings
Multi-variation listings will only be available in the Clothing, Shoes & Accessories category from 15th July and not in selected Home & Garden categories as previously announced.

Mandatory Dispatch Time
All new listings will now be required to include how long you'll take to send the item and a return policy. You’ll have until mid-September to update Good ‘Til Cancelled listings.

Custom Item Specifics
Custom Items Specifics will be available in the Clothing, Shoes & Accessories and Home & Garden categories later in July and in most other categories by the end of the year.

Regards,

The eBay Team
