Thanks for the reply, do you have any idea when you will know if this is indeed a beta test?

Do you agree that is seems extremely unprofessional that eBay are allowing their customers to find out about this via a fellow customer and not from eBay considering this has been an issue that has been brought up on the threads and the Q&A numerous times, especially if the team actively read the board, it seems to me that if indeed its a beta test they have known about it, sat on it and not told us anything and just hoped that it would pass over?

That's pretty poor standard of customer service directed towards us.
