Starting March 2017, UPIs will be validated based on the following criteria:
· Invalid GTIN(s) – not numeric/ not in the right length/ doesn’t pass checksum
· Brand value has only special characters - e.g. *&#@
·
Brand value is in black list ("new", "other", "brand", "value brand",
"brand new", "100% brand new","new brand", "approved vendor", "100%
new", "others", "made in china", "see description“ etc.)
· MPN value has only special characters - e.g. ??
Who will be enforced?
• All sites and categories
• All items conditions
• New and revised items (revision upon listing data, not price/quantity change)
• Single SKU & Multiple SKU
• Items with eBay Catalog Product Data:
-- will be exempt from those restrictions
-- the existence of UPIs or other required aspects will still be enforced
• Timeline for impacting GTC renewal is still TBD.
Note:
