It's simply a hook, one of many used by sellers. Please understand my position, I find the search results screen a MESS. Like you, I also use google - often finding stuff I MISSED. :( So back to item specifics, if ebay can increase the number of ways buyers can find stuff, then that can only be a good thing!

In time the popular specifics will be added automatically to the default dropdown menus. The nonsensical fields will be ignored if buyers never search for those terms.

Then we could actually get less functionality instead of more My concern is that sellers will abuse this feature and start adding nonsensical fields to the item specifics.

Making it longer will just increase the mess on the results screen - not to mention the flood of " MINT L@@K! NO RESERVE NEW IN THE BOX WILL SHIP SAMEDAY etc.." The title is abused already.. infact, I would welcome ebay cleaning up the title.. starting with the "no reserve" brigade. If you cant fit it in 55 characters then use the subtitle. The high subtitle charge keeps the use of that to a minimum. I like item specifics, I think there is a place for it. See here for more info for those that havent seen it.. http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/sell/item_specifics.html#advantages I'll be interested to see how this experiment works out. north, I think 55 characters is more than enough.
