Tips for selecting item specifics

When selecting item specifics, keep these tips in mind.

• Provide as many recommended item specifics as possible.
• When selecting item specifics (such as your item's color, size, or style), try to choose from the options we provide.
  For example, if your item's color is mostly red, choose "Reds" as the color and select from one of the recommended values for Shade, rather than providing a custom color.
