Greetings from the eBay Watch Team!
You are receiving this email because you are among the most valued Watch
Sellers on eBay and we wanted to inform you of an exciting new feature for
the watch category that was released in late June - Attributes! Are you
currently using attributes (also known as "item specifics" in your watch
listings? If not, we encourage you to start using this feature soon.
If you sell brand watches on eBay, it is important that you start using
attributes in your listings. Attributes will begin to play an increasingly
important role in how buyers search for your listings - particularly in
terms of watch brand. In about a week, eBay will remove the brand name
structure under the Wristwatch category. Wristwatches will be the lowest
level within the site categories. At that time, buyers will locate the
watch brand of their choice using the eBay Product Finder rather than
browsing through the brand name categories. Buyers will have a more
difficult time finding your watches if you are not using attributes.
Below are just some of the benefits of attributes...
Why use Attributes (Item Specifics)?
- Quickly reveals key buying criteria
- Describes criteria in a common language
(e.g. Features, Gender, Age, etc)
- Quick refinement by criteria of importance
- Allows key dimensions not well-represented
by categories (e.g. Watch Style)
Why you should add Attributes to your listings?
- Buyers who use the Product Finder will
only see your items if you complete the
Attributes information
- Buyers really value the product finder
- Faster and easier to use
- Quickly and accurately narrows the search
- Listings with Item Specifics on average
drive 30% more bids than other items*
