eBay's Latest Glitch...

[yellow-snapdragon]

This is my listing view for seller's description.

There are multiple discussions on the tech issues board. eBay reps were tagged on this one :

It would be kinda funny if this were intentionally placed in the description sections of all listings that either entirely lack a description or lack any meaningful description ... I would be amused.

[yellow-snapdragon]

@ajs_coins_and_alchemy Nope. I give a real description of my items and don't use that AI **bleep**.  

[ajs_coins_and_alchemy]

Those AI descriptions make me laugh every single time... just a horrible digestion and regurgitation of the "Item Specifics" section.

I suppose some sellers feel it's better to show "fluff" than nothing. I'm more offended by the fluff because if I take even half a second to read it, that's a half a second of my life I can't get back. Just leave the section blank!

The ONLY green ones have a Description.

Many times that is there for a brief moment as it didn't load correctly on YOUR computer- usually go back and back in again and it's gone....as is this one less than 1 hour after your post.

There are two issues.  The one this thread is about which is sold items.  And the other is on current listings.  For me I experienced for a short while late this morning in some of my active listings.  As far as I know it isn't doing that now.

Still happening:  Seller description box has the "Oops, we looked everywhere" image.  Is this being addressed by ebay any time soon??

[bennotbill]

At least oops has stopped appearing when I watch an item.

That appears to be fixed, for now.

Still happening on my listings.  Including viewing incognito.

Over 2 weeks and I cannot list anything using my laptop with multiple browsers. I have tried everything. I can however list on my account using my phone. It is hanging up on the "item title". Whenever I edit that I get the error messages. The ONLY thing I can think of is that during an ebay update they no longer support windows 10.... Is everyone else having issues using Windows 10 or is anyone using Windows 11 having issues also?

@libbywebst that is YOUR computer doing that. 

It's NOT happening to the 'rest of us in this world'......

Mine are back, also - I was missing quite a few descriptions in my unsolds over a period of two days.

Check them again - mine began repopulating but since it sounds like a widespread incident there may be a lag.

[dhbookds]

If it's still happening...............what browser are you using and have you tried a different one?

[libbywebst]

Obviously, it is.  Hence the fact that ANOTHER USER started this thread.
