Soon, we will introduce Item Specifics in the RVs & Campers categories. Using Item Specifics is free.


Please note that the exact timing of the launch is still to be determined, but it will likely occur within the next one to two months. We'll post an update on the timing of the launch as soon as we have more clarity.

Why are we introducing Item Specifics to the RVs & Campers categories?

We are introducing Item Specifics to RVs & Campers in response to community requests from both sellers and buyers. Our planned introduction incorporates feedback received from both sellers and buyers. Thanks to everyone who provided input.


For sellers, Item Specifics make it easier to present a clean, well-organized description that clearly articulates important details. As an example, a seller using Item Specifics can with a few clicks of the mouse call out the make of an RV, its length, and its sleeping capacity. For buyers, the ability to search by Item Specifics makes it easier for them to find items with the particular Item Specifics they seek. As an example, a buyer using Item Specifics can choose to search for RVs of a particular type (e.g., Fifth Wheel) and length.


I’m a seller, how will I know when Item Specifics are available; i.e., how can I start using them in my listings?

If you list items using the standard Sell Your Item form or Selling Manager Pro, Item Specifics will simply show up in the normal listing flow when they are available (likely early to mid June). If you list your items using Turbo Lister, Seller Assistant, or Seller Assistant Pro, you will need to download an update (we will post a notice reminding you to do so once the Item Specifics are available). Finally, if you utilize a third-party listing service (e.g., CARad), please contact them to verify that they will offer the Item Specifics functionality in the RVs & Campers categories.


I’m a bidder/buyer, how will I know when Item Specifics are available; i.e., how can I start using them to find what I want?

As a bidder/buyer, there is nothing that you need to do to activate Item Specifics. Once Item Specifics are available, they will simply show up in the View Item pages of individual RV and Camper listings and on the search and listings results pages within the RVs & Campers categories. On the search and listings results pages within the RVs & Campers categories you will also find a Product Finder in the left-hand column offering you the ability to refine your selection by Item Specifics such as RV length. Additionally, some Item Specifics such as model year will show up as a column by which you can sort your results. Full Item Specific details will be shown on each RV or camper listing View Item page.
