Released: Compliance with EU Product Safety Requirements on eBay

We are excited to announce a significant update to help sellers in the EU meet new legal requirements under the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR). With this new feature, you can now provide essential product safety details, such as manufacturer information, EU Responsible Person (EURP) details, hazard information and product safety information directly in your eBay listings.

In e-commerce, adherence to product safety regulations is crucial, particularly for sellers operating in the EU. With GPSR, you now need to provide specific information about product safety, ensuring that potential buyers have access to comprehensive details before making a purchase decision. This feature streamlines compliance, helping you stay legally compliant without adding to your workload.

Improved GPSR compliance and optimised safety information for eBay listings

  • Legal Compliance: Ensure your eBay listings meet GPSR requirements effortlessly, reducing the risk of non-compliance.

  • Automated Data Transfer: Manufacturer and safety information is stored in PlentyONE and automatically transferred to eBay, saving you time and reducing manual data entry errors.

  • Enhanced Product Safety: Providing safety information builds trust with potential buyers and ensures transparency.

  • Reduced Liability: Minimise risk by making required safety information available automatically, reducing potential fines or penalties.

  • Increased Market Opportunities: With up-to-date safety information, you enhance your reputation in the EU market, improving sales potential.

This feature allows you to manage all necessary safety information within PlentyONE, eliminating the need for separate data entries on eBay. Once you update a listing, the data is automatically transferred, simplifying your workflow.

New Feature Details

  • Manufacturer and EU Responsible Person (EURP) Details: These details are sourced from the manufacturer data within PlentyONE and transferred to eBay upon listing creation or update. Ensure a manufacturer is assigned to each item and that all fields are complete under Setup » Item » Manufacturers.

    Important: Update existing active listings with the “Item details” option to apply this new information.

  • Hazard and Product Safety Information: For certain categories, hazard and product safety information is required. You can now manage these fields within the “Marketplace” tab of each market listing.

    Important: Update existing active listings with the “Item details” option to apply these updates.

This is the first of two releases related to GPSR compliance. The second release, which includes regulatory document uploads, is coming soon.
