Hi @lotzofuniquegoodies - I'm still trying to get more detail on this, sorry, and thanks for your patience. 🙂

When I first received the email (April 1) from ebay there were links to a variation tool. In testing my listings in found 18. Under the condition it notes 1000, 1500 and 2500. Unsure what the codes connect to. Should I disregard if condition was never a option? In testing now the same 18 display.

Hey @lotzofuniquegoodies! The team has come back with a few questions. They're not familiar with the link you included. I also don't see that we provided it to you in the email we sent early April. Would you let us know where you were provided that link?
They also aren't sure what your specific question is. Would you be able to possibly rephrase it? They want to help, they just aren't sure exactly what the problem is so they can best address or speak to it. Thanks!

I received a reminder email this morning( duplicate of previous). See attached.
The tool(mentioned in my original email) was probably located somewhere on the dot com board or in google from someone else having the same concerns.
As noted previously NONE of my variation listings use Grade A/B/C as a condition. When I used the tool it clarified that I had 18 listings using variations and those codes which to the average user would be completely meaningless. I am just wondering how to proceed or if suddenly May 9 2022, those 18 listings will be purged from the system.
I would be under the impression that if eBay is sending out an email of this nature that this planned release would have also included a general announcement. That I have never been able to find.
Thanks,

Hi @lotzofuniquegoodies! Thanks for letting us know that link was found outside of eBay.
As for the Grade A, B, C concern, this update affects that, condition, and MSKU (multi-sku) listings in the stated categories. There will be three new condition options to choose from: excellent, very good & good.
Some sellers are using condition as a variation on their MSKU listings, so those sellers are being asked to split their MSKU listings and have just 1 listing per condition. If you got this email and you don't use grades or have multi-variation listings that were using conditions as a variation, then that means you need to update the condition for those listings to one of the three new options: excellent, very good, or good.
I believe the email they sent was meant to be the announcement.

In checking the 18 listings it has auto-populated according to what was originally chosen. The 3 conditions you mentioned do not show up in ANY of those current listings. Condition choices seem to vary depending on the category. Fortunately I only have 18 listings. This would be MAJOR work for anyone that routinely uses variations. From several dot ca sellers the categories that allow variations vary substantially to what is available on dot com.
