Just wondering about how large a sales increase have you seen since you now have all these item specifics to fill in.

None, its a complete waste of time.
I think most buyers just type in what they're looking for and that's it. No one looks at the specifics, just the ad.
The specifics panel in the ads also complicates the ad, often it doesn't even match the actual item so why bother. Especially when your listing 'one of' items.

I love deadpan humor. For some reason this question strikes me as very funny.
My time to enter listings has increased. What is that old eBay adage? If it isn't broken, change it. If it is broken, leave it.

I think the more appropriate question would be, how much have sales DROPPED since instituting [this tedious nonsense] of item specifics. The less speciffic listing categories went hand in hand with this.😒

Because 2 negatives = a positive, right? 😺

I have not seen any change in my sales, but as a buyer I genuinely appreciate being able to filter by some of the standard item specifics - and it saves me a lot of time.
I am a record collector, and I am a stickler about the condition of a record sleeve.
Before the item specifics changes, I would have to do a complicated search for "Mint", "M", "Near mint", "NM", "EX+", "Excellent", etc. and even then I had no idea if the seller was describing the sleeve condition or the vinyl condition.
And I would also have to search the description as well, because many sellers do not put condition in the title. But since some sellers include their personal grading scale in their description, so in those cases I would match EVERY one of the conditions a record might have in their description, regardless of what the actual condition was.
But now when I search in vinyl record, there is an item specific filter for "sleeve grading" that saves me a whole lot of time. The same goes for other things like "recording grading" and "record label" too.

There is really no way to connect sales increases or decreases to one specific factor without some serious data analytical tools and data that only eBay has access to. Saying sales increased because item specifics may be relevant or not relevant to all the other factors that go into sales statistics: shipping costs, taxes, COVID, economy, time of year, supply, demand.............
