Vanishing info in the description block

I have an issue. When I type information into the description block, it vanishes when I preview it. It also sometimes vanishes when I list. What am I doing wrong? Why is system deleting my input?

Vanishing info in the description block

If the problem is that the item description is disappearing when you list, the problem may be tied to a browser add-on. Other users have pointed to issues with Ad Block, Duckduckgo and a grammar checker called Language Tool. If you have any of these add-ons installed in your browser while listing or editing, a conflict with the new listing tool may cause the item description to be lost. It is possible that there are issues with other as-yet unidentified add-ons as well.

 

Try temporarily disabling those add-ons while listing or editing. Or else try using another browser that does not have those add-ons installed to list or edit your items.

Thank you!  I have none of these but you have given me a possibility.

You are very welcome -- good luck!

 

If you find any additional info about problematic add-ons or if you discover a workaround that allows you to list without losing your description, please follow up with any details you can share.

Vanishing info in the description block

Here is how I am presently dealing with issue.

I fill out the description block and save the text until I list.  Before I list, I hit save for later, then reopen the listing.  I am assuming that reloading may have some helpful effect.   When I am finally ready to list, I re-enter the description block info and post the listing.  I then view completed listing to see if my description stayed around.  

Thank you!
