Clothing Item Specs Gone. Measurements are never needed right??!!!

[texas_online_thrift1]

so men jeans/pants are missing waist size measurement

women jeans/pants are missing inseam and waist measurement

womens blouses are missing sleeve type and fit

This is a rookie mistake that a multi billion dollar company should not be making. Of course the listing recommendations say listings in the category sell with at least 8 recommended item specs yet there are only 6 or so available now!!

It's getting bad eBay. Stop changing things, you always break something else. And of course who will have to go back and re-enter all the missing item specs? Yeah the seller will have to and waste more time on a problem we didnt create. Pretty sad

Hi, i looked at your current listings on my iPhone. I see the measurements in the title and Item Specifics. In your Description fields there is only a blurb about how you measure with no information about the item listed in most. Can you clarify the issue? Did info disappear from the Description fields?

the listings you are looking at older listings that still had the item specifics. Just make a listing in womens jeans and you will see the item specs aren't there. So the listings that are in my drafts that will be posted today dont have the option for inseam and waist size, among others

Got it! So you are manually having to create that info in Item Specifics. Thinking this is a temporary glitch, but it is highly annoying and wasteful of the seller’s time and energy as you expressed well.

correct. I called eBay and talked to seller rep. He didn't even know it was a problem but said he would make a ticket. He even said "the tech department that changed the item specs don't know about clothes" really? I was like "do they have common sense? why would they take out inseam and waist size?" 

Only eBay

my personal motto is..no measurements no buy. I refuse to have to ask every seller what the measurements are for every top i consider buying.Ive read sellers complaining that buyers ask for measurements! And one seller was angry that people didnt buy the sweater after she replied with the measurements. Well hello?! duuh! If your listing a size small sweater but the measurements are 40 inch chest (which happens all the time now with the oversized  box look) then of course someone who who wears a small wont buy it.A small traditionally is rarely more than a 36 in chest but usually a 32-34. So sellers, stop being lazy karens about doing your job and add measurements WITH THE RULER SHOWING IN PICTURE. ......NO MEASUREMENTS NO BUY!!!
