Description

Derived By

Type ns:NameValueListArrayType

Content Model

Contains elements as defined in the following table.

Component  Type  Description 
ns:NameValueList  ns:NameValueListType  This list is an array of Item Specifics, which are category-specific fields that the seller added to describe the listing. The names of these fields are different for items in different categories, so they're returned in a generic name/value structure.

Remarks

This could include values that were previously defined (but no longer for sale).

eBay uses this list to configure variation selection widgets that appear on eBay's View Item page. For example, if Color and Size are names in the list, then eBay's View Item page displays Color and Size drop-down lists to help a buyer choose a variation of interest.

The order in which the names and values are returned matches the order in which the selection widgets appear on the View Item page. For example, if the names "Color", then "Size", and then "Sleeve Style" are returned, the View Item page shows drop-down lists with those labels in that order. For "Size", if the values returned are "S", "M", and then "L", the View Item page shows the values in that order in the Size drop-down list.
