It's not about making you work more, it's about increasing the possibility of making more money for both you and eBay. People search by item title. Buyers are lazy and use short searches that can bring up 1,000s of listings. Ebay then gives an opportunity to narrow the search with a bunch of check boxes on the left side of the screen. People do not want to spend hours shopping, they want to spend minutes. Some buyers are to savey enough to know that instead of searching for a woman's nightgown your chances are better if your search includes more info on what you want such as XL Lanz.
