Item Specifics

[wpt05]

Why do I continuously see a message saying "Item specifics—recommended (27)" even after I have added specifics for these items?  Is there something else I should be adding to these listings?  Do I have all of the required specifics for these items?  

The customer service representative assured me that I had had all of the required specifics.  They said the recommendations were to get more views.  There are some items with only 1 view after a few days.  I have never seen so few views on any time in over 19 years.  

Is there something I am missing on these listings?  Please let me know.  This is the last push before the holidays, so I want to make sure these listings are viewable.  Thank you in advance.

I hear ya Fern, but the problem is that by FEBRUARY,I heard that  if the Sellers don't add those irrelevant "Item Specifics" (that Ebay keeps asking of us, every day)  then I heard eBay will delete all your/our listings that do not have 100% of those irrelevant "Items Specifics" done.

Where did you hear that?

Entirely INCORRECT..............  you are ONLY required to fill in the "Required IS".......and the most I've seen of those is 4............  the rest are recommended but NOT required........ 

Yes, I usually have 3 "required", sometimes 2, sometimes 4.  Don't remember having more, and on one of my accounts I sell a very eclectic variety of items. 

I've found that once I finish the IS and then check the "don't show me again"..........they no longer show up in the list to fill out IS.  That check mark must be the last thing you do........if you check it and then add something else.....the check mark disappears and it WILL show up again.........

I agree, whenever I check "don't show me again" I never get shown again.

I know.  Why can't it be like 1998 eBay when all you had to do was type a title and description, add pictures and list it?  This item specific stuff is such a waste of time.
