What is this second set of item details for?

I’m confused about this second set of item details. It contains traits such as gender, item quantity, price, SKU, and UPC. The thing is, I already entered that information in the item detail boxes above. It is very redundant information and I’m curious why it’s even there.

I have that come up sometimes and I think is if if your item has variations but am not sure.

The first set you encounter on the listing page, dictates what’s seen by buyers, as the item details; and is used by Google, if you’re paying at least 9% fees. You have variations in this part and that’s why you’re seeing the second part, where you set your selling price, SKU, UPC, etc, that applies to each variation of your products. Simply fill in the information, or omit it if not required.

If there’s only ‘one’ type of the product, then make sure to remove anything in the first section, that could trigger the second section being necessary.

It is because you have the Many Genders option in traits selected, this means that you can now enter each gender and any difference in sku, upc, or pricing can also be entered..

It would be better to just go back to the top and put in Boys and Girls instead of many genders..especially if it only means that the same item can be all, instead of having slightly different items for each gender

This will occur any time the Many is chosed in the item traits,,,ie many colors, many styles, many sizes, etc I gives the seller the option to enter different options.

My idea is one set of traits is for Bonanza search and the other is for Google search. Which is which I can’t say and I could be wrong
