***More time to optimise your listings on eBay.ie***

17 January, 2017 | 04:45PM GMT

Hello,

In autumn 2016, we announced the next phase of our product identifier mandate. These updates:

· Can give your unbranded and private label inventory more visibility in search, on and off eBay.

· Link your listings with our new product pages, product reviews and marketing.

These updates were scheduled for February 2017. However, we heard from many of you that this timing is a bit rushed. We get it. So we’re relaxing our timelines:

  • Our new catalogue portal will be available from spring 2017. You’ll be able to upload your entire catalogue of private-label and unbranded products quickly and easily using eBay-generated product identifiers.

  • New options, including Amazon, Google and self-created product identifiers will be available from summer 2017.

  • We’ve postponed our next product identifier mandate - additional categories of new and Good ‘Til Cancelled listings for manufacturer refurbished items - to next year, along with the removal of the Does not apply listing option.

 

We’ll provide specific dates soon and will give you plenty of time to get ready.

Regards
The eBay Team
