eBay are constantly making changes to the site to improve the buyer experience and Item specifics are one such area that is in a never ending cycle of changes. eBay often ask sellers to provide different item specifics for new, revised or relisted items in certain categories and this time around the most important is for the car tyre category.
eBay have two main intents with the tyre category Item Specifics change – one is for parts fitments to help buyers find the correct tyres for their vehicle to increase conversion and second is to reduce returns.
From the 31st of July 2018, sellers will need to provide the following item specifics on new, revised and relisted tyre listings:
- Unit Quantity
- Tyre Width
- Aspect Ratio
- Rim Diameter
- Speed Rating
- Tyre fuel efficiency (A-G)
- Wet grip performance (A-G)
- External rolling noise (dB; class)
Good ‘Til Cancelled listings will continue to auto-renew but eBay strongly encourage you to update your listings. If you don’t, they become invisible to buyers who filter for listings and use eBay’s Tyre Finder Tool so you’ll get very few sales.
