Important changes coming in 2009: duplicate listings policy, P&P policy, retirement of old search, and more

Hi Everyone

A few more changes to eBay coming up.

Regards
Steve H

We'd like to let you know about our plans for the first quarter of 2009, including:

Duplicate listings policy
Retirement of old search
My eBay update
Item details page update
Postage & packaging policy

Changes to the duplicate listings policy

From 27th January 2009, we'll be making some changes to the duplicate listings policy. You'll still be allowed up to 15 duplicate listings for identical items. However, only one of these can be a Buy It Now listing.

Find out about amendments to the duplicate listings policy at http://pages.ebay.co.uk/businesscentre/newsletter/#2

Retirement of old search system

Earlier this year we introduced a new search system. A small percentage of users chose to stick with the old system using an opt-out link. At the end of January, we're retiring the old search completely, so any users who opted out of the new search will be automatically redirected to the new search system.

My eBay update

We've been gathering feedback on the new My eBay design and have been making improvements. On 20th January 2009, we'll retire the current My eBay design and switch to the new one.

If you'd previously opted out of the My eBay test, please opt in and try the new version. We think you'll like it.

Item details page update

We're currently testing the new version of the item details page (also known as the view item page). Sellers can see how the new item details page looks for their listing by using the link at the top right of their current item details page.

Reminder - postage & packaging policy changes

From 27th January 2009, we'll be making changes to our postage and packaging (P&P) policy on eBay.co.uk.

To coincide with the introduction of free DVD P&P, we'll be running a promotion offering a 25% discount on the Final Value Fee on all DVD sales.


Regards,

The eBay Team

Cheap Car Insurance.org.uk

When you're not spending your time looking around auctions and getting deals there, try looking for some cheap car insurance from somewhere like tesco insurance. You're bound to get some decent car insurance quotes and it's something that most of us need, as we all should have the protection that a proper insurance policy offers.
