In the next few weeks, we plan to update several of the Item Specifics in the Passenger Vehicle category.

• Number of Doors and Interior Color – will no longer be required
• Number of Cylinders – renaming “don’t know” to “unspecified”
• Vehicle Title – renaming “other” to “unspecified”
• Transmission and Vehicle Warranty – adding “unspecified” as an additional choice
• Condition – adding “Certified Pre-Owned (CPO)” as an additional choice
• Fuel Type – adding this as a new item specific with the following acceptable choices: Biodiesel, CNG, Diesel, Electric, Ethanol-FFV, Gasoline, Hybrid-Electric, Steam, or Other

Item Specifics is an eBay feature that allows sellers to provide additional item details, such as Year, Mileage, Transmission, etc during the selling process. Buyers can then search using these item details in addition to regular Title search and Description Search, thus finding these items more quickly and easily. We believe modifying Item Specifics as outlined above will simplify the selling process. Additionally, the added item specifics of CPO and Fuel Type will enhance finding vehicles of these types easier on eBay Motors.

These Item Specifics modifications will be available within the next few weeks for sellers who list items through the Sell Your Item form, Turbo Lister, Selling Manager Pro, or the API. For these eBay seller tools, this may require downloading an update. If you utilize a 3rd party listing service (e.g., Andale, Auction123, etc.), please contact them to verify that they will offer the Item Specifics modifications in the Passenger Vehicle category.
