Why are item specifics suddenly crucial for DVDs?

[vicw2005]

I've been selling DVDs in a constantly stagnating market since 2005. In my item titles I include: name of the movie/program + year of release + how many discs + format (Region 4) + whether it's Brand new or other.

I used to have over 3,500 titles listed but, since Netflix, Amazon Prime + Stan, etc. have become the main go-to for movies I've whittled my stock down to around 400.

(Savers have the beneficiaries of a couple of thousand FREE DVDs which they flog for $2+ each).

It makes no sense to go through item specifics for each individual title when the relevant info is there to see in both the title and the item description.

EBay has lost me... I'm going to Facebook marketplace... the air is cleaner there.

And to make matter worse people still don't read item descriptions! I had a moron the other day tell me the region was not showing in our listing yet it clearly was. When I pointed out politely see was using the app not the PC version she reported me? Ebay laughed it off as did I but seriously why waste time adding specs when people don;t even read or see the current ones!

Yeah the phone app doesn't immediately show the item description, its a secondary thing you click to view more info in the app. It is a problem for us as sellers and us as shoppers.
