Dear members,

We are glad to announce the introduction of item specifics in the Women’s Apparel and MP3 Players categories. Providing Item Specifics has advantages because it enables buyers find your item based on additional details.

Note: The Item Specifics feature is not available for all categories, and the layout for Item Specifics on View Item pages varies by category.

About Item Specifics

• The Item Specifics are determined by the category in which you sell your item. For example, the Item Specifics available in an apparel category would be related to size and style, while Item Specifics in a Mobile category would be related to model and features.
• The Item Specifics you provide are displayed at the top of your item description and are used by buyers to search for items. They are considered a binding part of your item description.
• In most categories supporting Item Specifics, this information is optional. However, it is definitely to your benefit to complete as many of the details as are applicable.

Advantages of providing Item Specifics

• Gives buyers an easy, fast way to search for your item.
• Makes the basic facts about your item clear and accessible on your listing.
• Gives buyers more details about your item and helps them make an informed purchase.
• Provides an additional way for buyers to find your item (for example, by size or by style).
• Provides consistent terminology and spelling (For example, to find a particular shoe size of 6.5, buyers do not have to search for variations including "sz 6 ½" or "6 and a half").

We encourage all the sellers to fill in as much details in these item specifics using the Turbo Lister and the SYI (Sell Your Item) form.

Regards,
The eBay Team
