Hi Kat

 

I ticked the box on the listings I wanted to change, if I click edit then just one of listing comes up. 

 

If I click on the arrow the drop down menu gives me lots of options, "add item Specifics" this does not bring me to the details I need to fill in, "add/edit note" is no good either.

 

Have you got an option on the drop down menu for add General Product Safety reg details?

 

How do I please add this information in bulk on my listings.

 

I would like to get ready and organised for this whilst my ebay shop is slow. 

 

It is no help to the sellers ,if you are telling us to be ready and do not provide the tools to help. 

 

I have over 1,000 listings and I do not want to do this one at a time.

 

Best wishes 

 

 


Hi @lincolnshiremarine ,

I'll have a look into the details for it as it was announced today. I will follow up offline and come back to you.

 

Thank you,

Kat

 

 

I am currently out of office and will return on the 2nd of June. Please expect a delay in my reply

Hi @Anonymous 

 

Unfortunately thats not something we can help with here. It would probably be worth checking with a financial adviser. They should be able to provide you some clarification. 

 

Thanks,

Dave

I was under the impression ebay would be asking for numbers, and wondered which one.

Thanks Marco.

 

Interestingly, since I posted this, the link to other shops is no longer showing on my listings.

 

 I suspect it's one of those 'oops we pushed a button too early' moments that eBay are famous for.

But it will be ebay asking for the NINO/UTR, so they must surely know what they will be asking for?
I would prefer to use the UTR I had from self employment days, even though I am only a private seller now, so I would also like to know exactly which number ebay will be asking for.

Thanks for letting me know, darth_baggins.

 

I will add that to the feedback as well, just in case. The more information, the better.

 

Thank you,

Marco

I am currently away on my sabbatical, and will return in July. Please expect a delay in my reply

Sorry that doesn't make sense, which number will eBay be asking sole trader business sellers for? A financial advisor can't answer on behalf of eBay.

Thanks Dave, but given that if you ask 5 customer support staff the same question you will likely get 5 different answers, it would be nice to have something down in writing. Perhaps you could pass on a suggestion that an announcement on this would be helpful?

this is from HMRC web site

 

Keeping your National Insurance number safe

To prevent identity fraud, do not share your National Insurance number with anyone who does not need it.

These organisations may need to know what your number is:

  • HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC)
  • your employer
  • the Department for Work and Pensions (which includes Jobcentre Plus and the Pension, Disability and Carers Service), if you claim state benefits, or in Northern Ireland the Department for Social Development
  • your local council, if you claim Housing Benefit, or the Northern Ireland Housing Executive
  • Electoral Registration Officers (to check your identity when you register to vote)
  • the Student Loans Company, if you apply for a student loan
  • your pension provider if you have a personal or stakeholder pension
  • your Individual Savings Account (ISA) provider, if you open an ISA
  • authorised financial service providers who help you buy and sell investments like shares, bonds and derivatives - you can check if your provider is authorised
  • Veterans UK

so ?
