Item Specifics - Does it help find the needle in a heystack?

[mypostingid15]

I just listed a watch but noticed a hundred of item specifics, this is crazy, why do you need to describe the item with all those fields? Sorry, It's now like finding the heystack that has the needle.

I am having the same issues with ItemSpecifics. We have a massive catalog of over 150,000 items and built out our own API. Many of the items are single quantity and we get nothing but errors (see below >>> feeling your pain).

We have spent countless dev hours trying to figure out how we can list products without spending an hour on each product. What is the solution for enterprise level sellers dealing with one-off items? HELLLPPPP!!!

Looks like they missed a few in there, like 'shoe size', 'belt length' and 'inflated hat size'.

(can never find a sarcasm font when one is needed!)
