I got the message about some "soon to be required". When I clicked on some of the listings I found in most cases basic things like size which I'm positive were originally there since they are already required, were now missing. Thank you so much for your intereference.

Yeah, IDK if I got an email, I don't check them often. But, it's on SH now & I only noticed it b/c it moved my make offer button over, so I had to go see why it was in a different order now. I only had 11, but they were all real & they were all size & they were all Ebay's fault b/c of the constant IS changes, they lost them. Idiots. denise15601 if you go to seller hub>Active Listings & click on the Item Specs Required button, those are ONLY the ones that are really required. ETA: You may want to wait, I think Ebay is fixing some of them. I had 11 the other day, I 'fixed' a couple, but still had 8 or 9 left & today it says I only have 1 that needs updating. So Ebay must have fixed the other ones or done something that dropped them from the list the button brings up. Most of mine were 'missing' Size, though it had been in there originally, so maybe Ebay found the original values I had put in & replaced them. We can only hope.

I had 1 this morning that needed "fixing". So I fixed it. Then it said I have 11. So I fixed them. Then I had 38. Refreshed the page and I had 91. Now I'm up to 166. And like jands and chap, I HAD ALREADY FILLED THOSE IN WHEN I CREATED THE LISTING! Dang it!
ETA: When are those "requirements" actually going to be required anyway?

I have seen on my main page, the 1 or 2 required.
I now have nothing there. But on the offer page still shows almost 500.

Interesting that Sunset's are going up, while mine are going down. I just checked again & I'm still at the 1. But I see the format of the IS's has changed to check boxes again 2 days ago, so I'm guessing they're still messing with it. I'm not sure on the date.

My list is 291. Started through it without realizing there was an "Add Item Specifics" action selection. It tells you which fields will be required whereas just clicking into the listing does not.
They want the upper material for shoes, and the drop down begins with 100% cashmere. Ugh, ebay.
There is a "Don't remind me about these recommendations again" checkbox!

Mine are somewhere over 1500 listings. Then I noticed a solicitation at the top of the page for some type of service and that will find/fix them for me. I hope that this is not all because of some hair brained money making scheme Ebay came up with.

This is what happened to me. I got an email that I needed to update 29 listings, and EVERY one is missing things I had filled in when I created the listing! Like for instance, a skirt wasn't in the women's category? Or listed as a skirt? And sizes are gone, too. It's crazy. And apparently Pull On is no longer an option for skirts, nor is Skirt suit under suits?! WTH??!!!

They ought to make those people farting around with the Item Specifics ACTUALLY LIST AN ITEM so they can see how messed up they are.

I just received an email telling me that I have 469 required changes. Well, that did go down a little.
And the 469 just showed up on my hub now. grrrr

I had about 140 to revise. Basically we have to waste our time doing this so that the "Type" field is filled out. It's not enough to list your pants in the pants section and to say pants in the headline. Now you must revise your listing to say...wait for it...pants in the item specifics. Ditto with skirts, scarves etc etc. Meanwhile, sometimes (not always) it drops the size specific of the item while you are attending to this essential task. Thanks, eBay, I could have been listing!

Mine have now been dropping waist size and inseam. I know they were there when I listed the items, but now I have to go back in to the listing and re-find the measurements!
:::bunch of bad words:::

I am ignoring messages unless it is about REQUIRED specifics that are missing. If it says "and recommended" it's not worth opening.

I am down to 425 required. Just changing 5 a day.

Look at your Seller Hub active listings and you should see a Quick Filter selection that says Item Specifics—Required Soon. It will give you the listings affected and when you drill into a listing, it shows which fields are “required soon”.

Right-I have 1,485 recommended and 425 required.

Yes, I've fixed some "required soon" when I was listing or re-listing. I'm just not going to add anything that's not required, yet unless it's convenient.

I hear have until February so if you have a lot, I’d hold off and hope most sell before then.

So now that I have to revise listings, the IS for the type of an infant one-piece is "Onesie", which is sure to get a vero. Why did they make this an option?
