Why would eBay remove the ability for sellers to print shipping labels from the Sold Item page? That's what sellers have been wondering for the past week.

"Another small, unannounced stupid eBay change," a reader wrote. "Previously, when looking at a sold listing, there were the options to "Print a shipping label" and "Sell similar", both of which I used. Now, both are gone, replaced by "This item is out of stock.""

eBay will share some major announcements from the upcoming Fall Seller Update next week at its virtual eBay Open seller conference before making a formal Fall Seller Update announcement sometime after the conference. "We want to share all of the announcements straight from our teams and executives who've developed all the great updates," according to a company representative during Wednesday's monthly chat session.
