Most of our auctions item numbers are still in the 498 Million range like everyone else's, but we are occasionally getting item numbers that are in the 1 billion range.
example...(1011111111)- instead of (498101XXX)
Does anybody know what is going on?
Are they only doing this for certain catagories?

Hiya J....I believe that the 10 digit numbers are catagory related...I have a couple of items listed in the "Weird Stuff" catagory & they were assigned 10 digits...

Inquisitive me asked ebay about that and they said they are trying them out to make sure they will go through system okay-kinda like a pilot selling thing...to make sure it's possible. NOTHING MAJOR!

That makes sense. I initially thought it was because "Weird Stuff" is placed on its own server according the Announcements. Different server, different auction ID?
