eBay Announce Winter/February Seller Update 2022
Reading Time: 3 minutes eBay has today announced a ‘February Seller Update’ for their marketplaces across Europe and the UK and whilst there is no official announcement on the US site yet…they do have a page live for winter 2022.
Firstly this is an interesting break from normal proceedings as eBay usually announces their seller updates in the spring and fall seasons. However, on the UK announcement site, they have the announcement titled Business Seller Update February 2022. Does this mean we can still expect a bigger update in the Spring, or is this a new style for eBay where they will roll out smaller but more frequent seller updates?
The other confusing aspect of this update is them calling it the Winter 2022 update on the US site. Whilst February is definitely still Winter, the Winter season we are in started in December 2021 and most normal naming conventions would dictate that we are still in Winter 2021. Which would then mean Winter 2022 didn’t start until December 2022, a solid 10 months away.
At the time of publishing an official announcement was not live for the US site but looking at the landing page above it aligns very closely with the rest of the UK and Europe…albeit with a different naming style…randomly.
Below you can see the full announcement from eBay UK regarding what the eBay seller updates are for February 2022. For the US landing page with all of the details click here.
