What the data shows
- The median listing carried 15 filled item specifics.
- Clothing and art carried the most (17). Collectibles and Business & Industrial carried the fewest (6).
- Item specifics are the fields eBay's search filters use: size, brand, color, model. A blank field is a filter your item does not show up in.
How we measured
Every eBay listing created with FlowLister and published March 30 to October 15, 2026: 69,151 listings from 438 FlowLister sellers. Count is the number of item specifics filled on the listing as published. Categories with fewer than 20 FlowLister sellers, fewer than 50 listings, or one seller over half the listings are left out. These are FlowLister listings, where the AI fills specifics from photos, so they may run higher than eBay listings overall.
