To see Item Specifics that a seller has included in a listing, use GetItem. The item specifics are returned as name/value pairs that you can display to a user. Configure IncludeItemSpecifics to true
in the request to retrieve the Item.ItemSpecifics node. (If the listing has no Item Specifics, the node is not returned.)
The following example shows a portion of a GetItem response with an Item.ItemSpecifics node. In this case, the seller listed a gold chain bracelet with a lobster clasp.

eBay returns Item Specifics in the order that the seller specified them. We suggest you display them in that order, in case the seller grouped or ordered them in a logical way.
