The eBay Fall Seller Update

Here is the email I received from eBay with info about the Fall Seller Update, in case you missed it:

	Fall Seller Update: Sell more this holiday season  Dear juliawww:  With the 2010 Holiday selling season just around the corner, updates are coming this fall to help you take full advantage of the increased holiday traffic, maximize sales, and streamline your operations. As promised, we're continuing to consolidate changes that impact you into two or three releases per year with lead time to adapt. This is the third and final release for 2010.  Updates to help you stay on top of holiday sales New Listing Analytics application: Monitor your listing performance and sales and spot needed adjustments. More bulk editing functionality: Adjust price, accept returns, edit descriptions, and more. Unpaid Item Assistant update: Get inventory back on the shelf fast with auto-relist; exempt your preferred buyers. Unpaid Item Assistant will be turned on automatically for all PowerSellers. Shipping updates to help you improve service, reduce buyer questions Industry-standard shipping terms prominently displayed with estimated delivery: Economy, Standard, Expedited, and One-day What this means for you: All the current shipping services will be  mapped automatically to the four new classifications. Your listings  with "Standard Flat-rate" will be mapped to the new "Standard",  and listings with "Other" will be mapped to the new "Economy."  Check your listings with these two services specified to make  sure the estimated delivery time is still accurate. Get details. Shipping to Alaska and Hawaii, US Protectorates, and APO/FPO addresses: Show exact rates based on the location  or exclude these buyers. Pass on your shipping discounts to buyers with the Shipping Calculator: Specify one domestic and one international  discount. Low-cost shipping insurance: Available exclusively with eBay  label printing. Streamline buyer communications Updates to reduce and manage buyer contacts: Ask a question link moved down on item page; Automated Answers turned on for all sellers. Enhancements to My Messages: Use it as your central inbox for  buyer emails with out-of-office reply, customized email signatures, and message filtering. Category and Item Specifics changes are also consolidated with rest of updates. Find out if your listings are impacted.  Get details on the 2010 Fall Seller Update.  For more insight, you're also invited to Talk with members of my staff during thenext two days on a special discussion board we've set up for this purpose.
