Is there a way to permanently turn off eBay's random autofill of item specifics?

It is so frustrating that eBay will randomly autofill item specifics into a listing.  Not always -- just sometimes.  For example, I just listed five items and put the brand Wandering Moon in the headline.  After I had finished all of the listings I noticed that eBay autofilled "moon" as a theme in the long list of non-required item specifics (which is is not) so I had to go back and edit each one to remove that autofill.  It took me longer to correct the listings than it did to list them originally.  This has happened to me many times but I guess I reached the breaking point tonight so  I searched for a way to stop this from happening.  All I found was an unresolved and closed thread from 2022.  I am hoping that in the intervening three years, there is now a fix.  Anyone?

Are you using "sell one like this" or including an eBay product ID number?

 

Either of those might account for item-specifics being imported from another listing or product page.

I don't use either one of those and I've had it happen.

I start with a new listing and don't use any of their matches and it always messes up the IS section and have to go through and fix them.

Have a great day.
