Ebay just changed all the item specifics in my category. Completely screwed things up

What a complete cluster ****. So now I"m going to have to spend days editing all my listings, that were setup JUST fine before this new change. They couldn't even make their new system compatible with their old one?

You mean, like ME and my 4000 feedback spanning 10 years, with 1/4 of my sales being seller refurbished? me getting INAD for condition, is maybe 1 out of 1000 sales. And even the few non condition INAD are 99% fraudulent. SO once again, ebay throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

There must be too many INAD in refurbished goods.
which is not surprising as any one can throw anything onto Ebay ,coffee maker,toaster/oven.pocket watch,PC,printer,laptop,cell phones,dvd player and more.
Sometimes refurbished could mean just adding new ink cartridge,testing could mean flipping on a switch.
thats what makes Ebay such an exciting place,people keep coming back again and again.

and how was it not letting buyers decide for themselves before???

there were both options before. Now there are NEITHER. So I'm not really sure what point you're trying to make

Is that a category issue? I still see refurbished for certain items

lol so they brought back refurbished. I wonder if it was me complaining. Because they claimed no one else had complained
