After about a month of people reporting issues with the Item Specifics "listing tool", eBay got around to telling us that they were conducting a test on certain categories (but won't tell us which ones). However, that test was supposedly only removing certain Item Specifics from the start-from-scratch listing page, so that the only way you can get to them is to list the item, then update the live listing, which is the only time you can see the rest of the Item Specifics options.
The test was not supposed to be preventing listings by throwing out an erroneous error about the IS.

I have not tried to list anything today, but I do know that Thursday nights is when they do their updates in the US at least, so it could also be that the update broke the Item Specifics on top of the fun test being run on us.
Were you ever able to complete the listing?
