Changelog – WP-Lister for eBay

3.8.15 - 2026-10-05

• Fix: The check for placeholder values in size item specifics only rejects generic values such as "Does not apply" inside eBay's Clothing, Shoes & Accessories tree, where eBay enforces standardised sizes. Outside it, aspects whose name merely contains "size" (Screen Size, Ring Size, Compatible Mattress Size) no longer block a listing that eBay would have accepted. Real size placeholders such as "Multiple sizes" are still rejected in every category.
• Fix: The localised "Does not apply" text of the site is recognised as a placeholder as well, not only the English wording.

3.8.14 - 2026-09-29

• Fix: When an image upload to eBay Picture Services (EPS) fails, the main image is no longer sent to eBay empty. WP-Lister keeps the product's own image URL instead, so the listing still publishes rather than being rejected with eBay's misleading "You need to add at least one image to your product" error. This matters for eBay's retirement of the UploadSiteHostedPictures API on 2026-09-30, which makes every EPS upload fail.
• Fix: The warning shown when an EPS upload fails now survives a bulk publish or revise run, and points at the setting that actually helps (Listing Profile > Images > "Upload to EPS" > "No") instead of the EPS Transfer Mode option, which does not.

3.8.13 - 2026-09-12

• Fix: A size item specific set to a placeholder value (such as "Multiple sizes") is now caught before a listing is sent to eBay, instead of failing with eBay's own size-standardisation error. Applies to both a manual Revise and an automatic revise triggered by a sale.

3.8.12 - 2026-09-11

• Security: Cast the log, order and archive retention settings to integers before they reach the SQL INTERVAL clauses they are interpolated into, and on the way into the option store. Reported responsibly by Ananda Dhakal via Patchstack.
• Security: The [Retry] link in the order screen now verifies a nonce and the user's capability, and carries a single-use token
• Fix: Item conditions are requested for the category that was asked for instead of the whole marketplace, so opening or saving a product no longer rewrites the entire category table
• Fix: The category download stores level 1 only and leaves the depth below it to the queued branch tasks
• Fix: An eBay shipping policy that is unknown locally is no longer dropped without a word
• Fix: An empty WooCommerce dimension is no longer sent to eBay as 0
• Fix: A revision no longer demands at least one image when a filter removed the pictures on purpose
• Fix: CompleteSale retries are capped at 10 again
• Fix: "Get token expiration date" on the Tools page now works for OAuth accounts

3.8.11 - 2026-08-08

• Security: Validate ORDER BY column and direction against an allow-list on all admin list screens (CVE-2026-11973)
• Security: Sanitize the unauthenticated cron request payload and escape all Logs screen output (stored XSS)
• Security: Reject non-notification payloads at the unauthenticated notify endpoint
• Fix: Never wipe stored category mappings, category features or item specifics when an eBay lookup fails
