Mandatory eBay Item Specifics coming Feb 22nd 2021

We are always stressing the importance of item specifics and how they increase the discoverability of your listings within eBay and on external search engines. The more data you give eBay about your products, the better they can match your item to what the buyer is looking for either through query search or left hand nav filters.

( P.S. We know Item Specifics is SUPER painful to complete, so if you are time poor like us and need a tool to speed up your item specifics completion - Check out our Item Specifics Editor HERE. )
