eBay September 2026 Seller News
eBay has posted its September 2026 Seller News and it appears no news (or old news) may be good news with no major changes so far heading into peak Q4 holiday sales.
US
Bundle Discounts
Drive multi-item orders with bundle discounts. Set up flexible tiers and exclude specific listings.
Bundle discounts began rolling out in early August, with access recently expanding to all sellers ahead of the holiday shopping season.

Trust and Protection
- eBay may verify additional buyer details before auctions to help keep bidding fair and reliable.
- Buyers with repeat unpaid items across multiple accounts will be blocked from bidding on auctions.
- Reach the buyers most likely to accept your offer with Seller Initiated Offers.
Most of the details linked to for this section aren't actually new and oddly, eBay didn't mention one significant shakeup to its legacy auction model - the recent expansion of Extended Bidding to auctions in more categories across all of its global marketplaces.

Authenticity Guarantee
- Sell with added protection. Available on eligible coins $500 and up.
- Eligible raw and graded single trading cards $200+ are now included.
eBay launched Authenticity Guarantee for Coins in August in partnership with PCGS, after introducing new condition and grading requirements in May.

The threshold for trading cards to qualify for authentication was dropped to $200, also in August.

UK
The UK seller update was similarly sparce and filled with not really new news.
Grow Your Business
- Replacing the Global Shipping Programme, with added protection.
- Offer flexible bundle discounts on multi-item orders. Set tiers and exclude specific listings.
eBay International Shipping was introduced for the UK in July, with the previous Global Shipping Programme being slowly phased out.

Trust and Protection
- Buyers with repeated unpaid items across multiple accounts will be blocked from bidding on auctions.
- Find the buyers most likely to accept your offer with Seller Initiated Offers.
Tools you can trust
- Save time and help buyers find your eligible Vehicle Parts & Accessories with Fitment Plus Auto.
This is simply a repeat of the August UK seller news, which advised that Fitment Plus Auto would be rolling out in September.
What it didn't mention is that MyFitment will soon only be accessible on eBay as access through Amazon and other third-party tools will be cut off at the end of this month.
