A while back, eBay made the big announcement that they would be expanding their titles to a maximum of 80 characters, a significant jump from the current 55. The change was supposed to occur, I recall, either this week or next.

When will Vendio's SMM Edition be able to support this?

Thanks for any insight you can lend,

I just received an eBay update saying that the 80-character title maximum will begin next week, on Sept. 1.

Hello,

We are aware of this change and have internally prepared the needed files/updates for when eBay pushes this live. Once it's available to use, we'll test it to be sure it's working properly and make it available on the live site. There shouldn't be much of a gap between when it's available at eBay and when you'll be able to do this from here as well.

(assuming eBay launches it on schedule and there are no issues with the interface either here or there once it's live.)


Regards,
Chris

I received a "correction" from eBay saying that the launch date for the 25 additional characters in titles is now Tuesday, Sept. 6 (not Sept 1, as previously reported.)

Assuming that eBay sticks to this and gives Vendio enough lead time on that day to support it, Sept. 6th will be a big launch day for me.

I'm not sure if this is still in the works, but will you be making the box a little longer so we can see all the characters in the title? I can see mistakes being made if we have to scroll back and forth to view. Thanks!

Got no response, so am asking again:
