- 2Related labels are scheduled to activate on September 27, 2026
- 3Eligible products must provide three pieces of information
- 4Missing information may prevent the label from appearing
What happened?
According to an eBay developer announcement, the platform will open new listing fields and API support around September 24, 2026, in connection with relevant EU durability guarantee requirements, and plans to activate the related label display on September 27, 2026. Professional sellers, brands, authorized distributors, and cross-border teams using the Trading API or Inventory API to sell durable goods to EU consumers will be affected.
Eligible products must provide three pieces of information: the durability guarantee period, brand name, and model identifier. If any one of these details is missing, the product may not display the corresponding durability guarantee label. Sellers should check that their product catalogs consistently record brand, model, and guarantee-period fields and update their ERP, listing software, and API mappings. Information included only in titles or descriptions, rather than in the platform’s designated attributes, may not qualify for label display and may affect EU buyers’ trust and conversion.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
eBay sellers of durable goods to EU consumers must enter the durability guarantee period, brand name, and model identifier in the platform’s designated fields rather than relying only on titles or descriptions. Missing any one detail may prevent the durability guarantee label from appearing and could affect buyer trust and conversion; teams using APIs for bulk listings should also review field mappings.
What should sellers do now?
- 1This week, filter durable-goods listings sold to EU consumers and enter the durability guarantee period, brand name, and model identifier in the platform’s designated attributes. Create a missing-field list and ensure all three details are complete for every product scheduled for publication.Listing Optimizer
- 2For EU durable-goods listings created in bulk through the Trading API or Inventory API, check the ERP, listing software, and API field mappings and perform sample submissions. Create a mapping verification table and confirm that the brand, model, and guarantee period reach the designated fields.
