New GPSR regulations to sell to the EU and NI - Disclosures section on listing form - Question

Summary: mandicrafts is seeking clarification on the new GPSR regulations for selling to the EU and NI, specifically regarding where the disclosures entered on listings appear. After experimenting with adding details like the German address of Steiff, they discovered that this information only appears visible on the EU eBay sites, like France. mandicrafts found that to manage their large inventory of over 800 Steiff items, they plan to mark listings with a "D" in the custom label field to track which have been updated with disclosure information. needsmorerobots mentioned a discussion suggesting that items manufactured before December 13, 2024, might be exempt from the new rules and provided a link for further discussion. mandicrafts seems hopeful that adding the contact information may make Steiff items more visible to EU buyers.

The new GPSR regulations for the EU and NI effective Dec 13, and the need to enter item disclosures on the listing.....
Where do these Disclosures we enter, show up?
I experimented and entered the German address of Steiff along with contact phone number and email, for 3 of my vintage Steiff items (mohair plush teddy bears and animals) to see what the listing would look like with this information.
It doesn't seem to show anywhere? And would this information make my mostly vintage (1920s to 1980s, some more recently made) Steiff items visible to the EU? There is NO contact name for a responsible person available for Steiff. All inquires are encouraged to go through their sales inquiry phone number. Is this enough info?
I have over 800 listed items made by Steiff, so if I take the time to enter the address, phone number and email address under Disclosures, I need to know if this is enough information, and where it can be seen so I know that I've done it!!
Does anyone know?

I thought if the items were made/manufactured before December 13, 2024, they are exempt from the new rules?

There was a discussion had about it here:

I figured it out!!!!

GPSR, the new regulations for the EU and NI, and entering info into the Disclosure part of your listing (where does it show up after entry?????).....I just had the idea that this info is only relevant FOR the EU, so eBay won't show it elsewhere/other countries.

The 3 listings I entered the Steiff contact info/address/ph/email into the Disclosure section of my listings, I took a look on eBay FRANCE. I searched by the item title and it came right up in search (which is a good thing). And I opened the listing. At the very bottom it shows the info I entered. So it shows where it is supposed to show!!!

Unfortunately, there is no way to know which ones you've entered info into while on .ca or .com except by going into the listing on REVISE to see if it is populated, so my idea of putting "D" into the Custom Label field is the best thing to know at a glance that you have entered info for your listing.

Now I just have to hope it is "enough" info. I'm going to spend the time to upload the Steiff contact info into those listings under Disclosures (over 800). So who knows? Maybe my Steiff will be the only Steiff available to EU buyers outside of the EU?????!!!!!
