Since the new listing form is mandatory, I have items showing as featured that I do not have set as featured.
The new listing form had nothing to do with featured listings. That’s done the same way as before
@NanaLetha - Actually they now ask on the listing form if you want the item featured. Towards the bottom by variations, sections, etc.
You can also still do it the regular way.
@PetandWildlifeGifts - The new one asks if you want an item featured, towards the bottom by shipping, variations, etc. I almost clicked it by accident a few times. It is easy to miss what it is for. Maybe?
It's unchecked on the listing form, too. Also unchecked in Featured Listings. But still featured.
I think it would be easier to make a list of things that actually work with the new form than things that are screwed up.
Remember, they had 13 months to get this right. 13 months!
It took about 30 minutes for one of my newly featured items to appear as Featured.
This slooooooooooow typing in the new form is killing.
But! it looks like I found a way to get the edits stay. A very weird way. but it works for me (for now). After typing something (Alt text, for example), tap mouse anywhere on the screen to remove this highlighted frame. Then go to the next stage of slooooooooow typing. Oh my.
