Buyers look for items by using their keywords. It is therefore very important for your products to show up in search results as per the “refined options” chosen by buyers.
“Item Specifics” are descriptive keywords that tell buyers about your item. They may include brand, size, length, width, height, type, color or style and many more, and vary depending on what you’re selling.
By adding detailed and accurate Item Specifics, you are increasing the chances of making a successful sale. When you are very precise in adding the Item Specifics, it helps eBay to know what you are selling and thereby display the appropriate results to the buyers. You have to show the buyers the right thing – which will get your buyer’s attention. Make sure that the added Item Specifics are within the category chosen by you for the product.
