07 – Item Properties Panel

Item properties panel can be configured to show any listing information in a separate panel from the main search results grid. This is typically useful when you wish to keep the results column clean with basic listing information but would like to see other details before making a purchasing decision. Also, too many item specifics in the results grid might push vital listing information off the page.
