Item Specifics / Required Info Disaster

Basically, the new item specifics / required info is a causing severe problems. I used to enjoy that ebay was more free-wheeling and not so tedious as Amazon with their needless product data. But now, it's completely changed. For every item there are seemingly endless item specific options to enter, and some of them are now REQUIRED or your listing will not show up in searches (and searches are now being filtered, having to click 'show all search results' to see everything). Sellers with hundreds/thousands of listings are now having to spend valuable time going back and updating their listings (when there was nothing wrong with them to begin with). This is a bad turn, the worst thing I've seen happen to eBay.

Not anything new..........electronics and clothing went thru this in that last year or so.......  you fill out the required, which are rarely (in my experience) more than 2/3 specifics and then what "recommended" ones that you feel would help in search and just leave the rest.......Be sure to check the box " don't show me these again" AFTER you've complete all...........

You only need to fill in REQUIRED SPECIFICS (just leave recommend specifics blank).
