Dear business sellers,

 

As announced in April, from today (10th July 2019), you’ll be required to complete additional item specifics on your new and revised listings across 3 categories in Home & Garden.

 

Please note: Good ‘til Cancelled listings won’t be blocked on renewal.

 

These new requirements for Home & Garden listings will help drive visibility and conversion for your business, giving your buyers an improved and more relevant search experience.

 

The required item specifics to help your listings be found are: 

 

Bedding

Rugs & Carpets

Furniture

 

Remember, sellers who complete item specifics sell better than those who don’t. Furniture listings with size item specific filled in sell 56% better than those without.*

 

All categories requiring item specifics, including the additional categories above for Home & Garden, can be found using the downloadable lists on our dedicated Item specifics Seller Centre page.

 

Need help identifying your missing item specifics?

 

You can quickly identify and correct existing Fashion listings that are missing key item specifics free of charge until 30 September 2019.

 

Optiseller's Aspect Finder Tool will automatically review your listings, identify which ones are missing item specifics and extract the information if it's found elsewhere in the listing.

 

You can then use the report to update your listings directly on eBay in bulk or through your listing tool. Use Optiseller to update your listings.

 

* Based on average sales in the Furniture category on eBay.co.uk from May 2019 to June 2019
