If sellers did not make sure that their item specifics were updated by Oct 15, they would be reduced in search visibility.
Not saying that this is the case for the OP, but many sellers including myself, have had to make sure that all of the required/important specifics are updated.
In the past, when you listed an item, you could get away with just filling in the brand of an item (or unbranded/handmade in my case). Everything else besides the UPC requirement was not necessarily needed. Ebay now requires a HEAP more basic information to be filled in. In my case, because I mainly sell cushion covers, I had to go into every listing, make sure that I had allocated a size, the material and the colour and so on. Whilst there were loads more specifics available in the listing, I think that there were at least a minimum of 5 that now had a red asterisk and HAD to be filled in ie: the absolute most important information for a buyer when searching.
Ebay has tried to make it easier for buyers to really drill down into the item specifics on the left hand side when they search, so if any of those specifics are missing from your listings, it will be a lot harder for buyers to find you.
Also, double check that Ebay have not moved your items into a different category altogether. I found that they had moved more than 50% of my listings into "Childrens Decor" and of course, when you change category, ALL items specifics are lost.
