What are 2017 Input Quality Enforcements for Brand in ItemSpecifics?

Starting March 2017, Input Quality for UPIs will be enforced.  For more details about the enforcement, please refer to this KB Article:

https://ebaydts.com/eBayKBDetails?KBid=5082


Brand item specifics value format is validated based on the following criteria:

  • Brand value cannot only have special characters - e.g. *&#@
  • Brand values need to be valid and cannot have values like: "new", "other", "brand", "value brand", "brand new", "100% brand new","new brand", "approved vendor", "100%   new", "others", "made in china", "see description“ etc.
  • Brand format checking will be invoke regardless if Brand is a mandatory or custom item specifics
  • Brand will be checked when:
  • Adding an new item
  • Revising an existing item
  • Relisting an ended item

Note: We always suggest that you provide the Brand in <ItemSpecifics>. Whenever you provide them in <ProductListingDetails> and <ItemSpecifics>, make sure the values match.
