Something to keep in mind if you integrate to eBay

In the last release we updated the eBay API in anticipation for changes they plan to roll out on the 22nd February 2022.

When you set an eBay category on an eBay product page in Cloud MT you get a list of relevant item specifics to fill for that item. Some of these are required to be filled in to list/update the item, and not setting them will result in the item failing to list or update.

eBay are making some new item specifics required from 22nd February 2022. At the moment we don't see these in Cloud MT as eBay haven't marked them as required in their system yet, but you will need to set values for the item specifics as soon as they become available.

We currently expect that this change will affect outdoor customers in the Sporting Goods > Camping & Hiking categories.
