API Field Values
Note: "Allowed Values" for Item Specifics may be keys to display values, but where any non alphanumeric characters are replaced with dashes. This may appear confusing when, for example, a display value is "9.6 NM+", as the key would be "9-6-nm-". However, buyers will only see the display values, and not the keys.
Note: Certain Item Specifics fields are only available for Listings in the designated categories, and their sub-categories, as noted below.
