| Changes to Item Specifics & Pre-Filled Item Information |
|
|
|
|
Item Specifics allow you, the seller, to provide additional item details in a listing. Item Specifics help present a clean, well-organized description that clearly articulates important details that buyers want to see. Using Item Specifics is free and optional, but highly recommended. On average, adding Item Specifics results in an increase in bids per listing and an increase in sales per listing. For buyers, Item Specifics improve the ability to find items. Buyers can search using these details to find items more quickly and easily.
There are two types of Item Specifics, both will display in your listing.
- eBay-defined Item Specifics (the original Item Specifics). In categories with eBay Item Specifics, you add item details from a fixed set of options. The details display in your listing and are used by Product Finders to help buyers find items with certain characteristics.
Please see below for upcoming eBay Item Specifics changes.
- Custom Item Specifics (newer Item Specifics). In categories with Custom Item Specifics, you create your own item details or use eBay recommendations that are based on terms that have been successful for similar items in the past.
Categories that do not have eBay Item Specifics have Custom Item Specifics:
If you use a 3rd party listing service (e.g., Vendio and ChannelAdvisor, etc.), please contact them to verify that they will offer the Item Specifics functionality for the categories in the table.
Regards,
eBay
