Listing templates allow you to give your buyers more consistent information across all the items you have for sale, as well as making it easy for you to manage your listings.
Item specifics
Item specifics are descriptive keywords that tell a buyer about your item. They may include brand, size, length, width, height, type, color, or style, and vary depending on what you’re selling. Buyers use item specifics to filter their search results, and your item will only appear in those filtered search results if you’ve added the matching item specific. Make your listings easier to find by matching buyers’ most frequently searched terms.
Adding a video to your listing
One of the easiest ways to increase buyer engagement is by adding a video to your listing. It is a free feature available to all sellers in the eBay app, the mobile browser, and the web browser. Videos are displayed in the image gallery of the listing.

Product identifiers
Product identifiers are unique codes created by the product manufacturer that can be used to identify a specific product. Using a product identifier can save you time when creating listings. When you enter the product identifier, eBay will suggest a match if your product already exists in the eBay catalog. If there’s a match, many of the fields such as photo and title will be pre-populated.
Great Price badge
A Great Price badge helps eBay shoppers quickly and easily discover high quality inventory at highly competitive prices. When a Great Price badge appears with your qualified listing, your item will get buyers’ attention because they know they've found a great product at a great price.
