Add Product Specifics on the Rules Template
Tip: Item specifics that are required or recommended by eBay do not have to be added to your listing rules template. As long as they are on the product, and the product has a valid value, they will be sent to eBay automatically.
-
In your Maropost Commerce control panel navigate to eBay > Listing Rules Templates.
-
Click the template link to edit the template details.

-
Click on the Categorisation & Listing Rules tab.

-
In the Specifics section, click the Add New Primary Category Specific button.
-
Add a specific Type. To use the value from the specific on the product, set the first dropdown menu to Static Value, and leave the value blank. Alternatively, select Column Name and select a product field (including custom product field) as the value, and the value of that field on a product will be pushed to eBay when the product lists.

-
Click the Add New Primary Category Specific button again to add more specifics to your rules template.
-
In the example below, the Specific/Value is Material and Plastic. This will appear on all eligible listings. However, if the specific value was blank and on the product page Metal, Metal will appear instead.

The specifics listed here will display on the eBay listing above the description (as per the example below).
