Updated: Important Changes for Sellers on eBay UK

Hi Everyone

An important update from eBay.co.uk

Regards

Steve H

We've updated this post correcting some links issues and adding a date for the launch of the improved UPI process.


We told you at the end of July that we would be making some important changes for sellers starting the week of 22nd of September. The purpose of this post is to give you an update on when we expect these changes to become available across the site.

Initiative Estimated date Time

New way to look at DSRs 1st October PM

New minimum standards 1st October PM

eBay Top-rated status 29th September PM

New Best Match 1st October PM

Discontinuing listing features 1st October PM

Some additional information on the changes:

Discontinuation of features

We previously communicated that listing features would be removed from the site on 30th September; this has now changed to 1st October.

Post-Transaction Emails

Update to post transaction emails, Buyer Successful email will remain as it is today and the Follow-up email has been removed from the buyer communication initiative.

Mandatory Dispatch Time

As part of our changes in June, we advised dispatch time would be mandatory on GTC listings at the end of September, this has now been extended to 3rd November. If you start earlier, you're less likely to encounter delays due to heavy usage of the editing tools.

Regards

The eBay Team
