eBay has recently added many new required fields for sports cards and I have 50,000+ inventory to update. We keep everything on Shopify and sync with eBay connect. I can't see to find a way to bulk edit to add the new attributes.
Any ideas?

I tried bulk editing, wouldn't work... I'm ending, revising and relisting individually. Hope you find a better way. I only have about 500 listings. Takes about a minute each.
There are a few other threads about it, check them out to see if anyone had better luck

Thanks, what a mess eBay has created. When they make these changes they should have a tool to make it easy to revise for existing customers.

I actually changed it up today, didn't end and instead just revised. I was having an issue of some listings saying the scan I used wasn't big enough (even though it was good enough the first time I listed it) and I couldn't relist. Of course I delete scans after listing so I have a few to do over. Still a major pain.

All of mine are listed on Shopify then sync to eBay but now with this mess, they won't list unless I fill out all of the new fields. I'm up to 65,000 on the website and I am going to have to take a break from eBay until they can figure out a bulk editing tool to do it.

It took me a while to figure it out, but if you click on the bulk edit tool for item specifics, it doesn't work. However, if you just check the edit box on a bunch of listings, then click on edit selected, it takes you to the edit page.
Then, when you get to the edit page, click on "edit fields", then "item specifics. At the top of the page, you will see a drop down arrow that says "edit items individually". Click on the drop down arrow and you will see "edit items in bulk".
It is easier if you are editing a group of specific items, such as football cards, or hockey cards. I have bulk edited as many as 500 cards of one sport at one time. I had over 2200 listings that need new item specifics, and once I figured this out, it took me less that 30 minutes to get them done.
Just treat it like a regular edit and don't click on item specifics until you are in the regular editing process.
