This was announced at eBay Live! in Boston and is the next generation of Finding (or search) on eBay. Sellers will for the first time be in control of what item specifics are required relevant to their product without eBay spending months researching the category and determining what’s required. An example could be a red ipod - when the first red ipods became available it took a couple of weeks for eBay to realise this and add the colour red as an item specific option. Now the seller listing the very first red ipod on eBay could simply add the red attribute to item specific for buyers to search for.

The default search on eBay has *always* been by items ending soonest; if eBay is about auctions with a ‘hard’ (fixed time) ending, this default seems the natural one, so I’ll be interested to see what other ideas they have.

Manage by category. eBay needs to address the unique needs of each category when implementing fees, setting best practices, and optimizing search. A fashion seller has very different economics than a CD seller or an electronics seller, but eBay requires them to use the same fee structure.
