Anybody else notice that since sellers are using AI descriptions that the basics are missing ? Keep looking at vintage glass items that have a bunch of flowery verbiage but lack sizes and exact conditions. Annoying at the very least since you have to message to get details that should be posted. Personally makes me less likely to purchase from them. Any thoughts ?

In this case, I think you are too forgiving for the lack of details. Indeed, either it is this eBay AI-generated text, or a copy and paste from some vaguely similar item elsewhere on the internet. Here is an example, which I am not keen on posting as it will take someone one click to see see the listing, apparently.

Manufactured in 1979, this figurine is a great find for adult collectors. The medium size and no pattern make it a versatile piece that can be displayed in any room of the house. The character family is art and the unknown origin adds an air of mystery to its history.: -- My 'favorite' part is the "no pattern," and it is a very detailed piece.
But the one detail - the dimensions - is not included in the images, nor title, nor the faux description. It should be fun to purchase on eBay. Not make you need an aspirin.

What's funny is I asked a seller what the error on their coin is on eBay and they messaged me back that "it's obvious" and to "look at the picture again" I messaged them back and told them the coin has no errors and they ended it.
