As we announced in our 2019 Early Seller Update, we are making it easier for you to take advantage of product-based shopping, which helps buyers find your items quickly and easily, and increases the ways that buyers can find them. We are updating key item specifics in certain categories that are important to sellers when they search for items on eBay. Item specifics include the brand and physical details about the item you are selling, such as make, model, size type, size, color, and style.

 

To help you get started, when you list in the below categories, you will receive My eBay and Seller Hub notifications to add item specifics that help buyers find items they’re looking for. We recommend that you review the notifications and update your listings when these details are available.

Why is eBay focusing on Item Specifics?

 

Buyers have less time and more shopping options than ever. That’s why we’re creating a more efficient buying experience on eBay with product-based shopping.

 

We have identified areas that transform search and make it faster and easier for buyers to find what they are looking for. We’re monitoring item specifics that buyers use to find items like yours and providing guidance to help buyers find your items and help you optimize the visibility of your listings.

 

As part of this process, we will continue to share information about key item specifics in additional categories over the course of the year. In the meantime, we encourage you to visit My eBay [and Seller Hub] for guidance on how to optimize your listings with complete and accurate Item specifics.
