Missing Item Specifics

[wolfscards]

Have large amounts of items tagged missing item specifics.   When clicking on the item specific missing nothing shows up as missing.  What is happening.

This happened to me, I went through and reentered all of the specifics and low and behold it was one that was already entered. just a little extra work to keep us busy..lol

Pay attention to the notice. There are actually 2 different messages.

One says REQUIRED specifics are missing. Those you sort of have to attend to.

The other says RECOMMENDED specifics.  Those are just some busybody telling you what they THINK you ought to include. I have found a few of their suggestions to be useful but many more of their other "suggestions" seem to be superfluous and redundant.

Most of mine tagged as missing item specifics refers to the Bundle Contents missing.

Silly since when I list the items I check the No under Bundle.

The missing bundle contents specific does not even show on the sell your item form in my item categories.

I have to type something in the Bundle Contents box on the tagged listings.  I just type 2 towels or 3 towels or 3 coloring books.

Another newly tagged specific that makes no sense for coloring books is Regional Cuisine.  Coloring books are not cookbooks but I have to enter USA as the specific to fix it.

Too goofy, but this is eBay after all.

Many of our listings now have recommendations.  Almost all are mixed card lots or team sets.  Their recommendation being that we add a specific card number.  Makes no sense.  There is a link where you can tell them what you think of this.  I took a moment to do do.  Made me feel a little better.

We get even worse than nothing.

Many of the recommended 'options' do not have a 'does not apply' or similar choice. You have to pick specifics that do not always apply. So, about 25% can't be filled out without lying to our customers.

I suspect that this will impact search placement if not filled out.

We've reported this as a Tech issue.

I’m having the exact same problem, so this doesn’t seem to be an isolated incident.
