Captcha in Item Descriptions?

[funboy1227]

I'm cruising around Ebay with my Laptop and I'm seeing Captchas  in Item Descriptions.   They are incomplete, as I can't see the instructions, so I can't get past them to see the Description or to even place a bid..

New Glitch? Ney  Feature? or is this another attempt to completely destroy Ebay's Buying experience?

Same here. I'm logged into my eBay account and even completing the Captcha isn't working.

And this is on my Windows desktop in the latest version of MS Edge.

@funboy1227   its Friday so Im guessing it is the new Thursday night update glitch.

Same here (on ebay.com) listings. Completely unnecessary captcha, in the first place. And completing it doesn't work...

And on ebay.ca, ebay "Refused The Connection". Like a 'broken link' error message.

Ridiculous...as expected.

Having same problem.  Can't even see my own item's descriptions!

I can complete the Captcha, but it just thanks me and doesn't actually load the description.  Had to click "revise" on my own listings this morning to see how I promised to mail things out.  Very cool.  Mac/Safari 15.4

Same problem with the Captcha verifying but still not letting me see item descriptions.  I guess I just won't buy anything until it is fixed EBAY!

It’s a glitch that eBay is working to fix. If you have the app there are no issues there at least none that I can see.

Thanks for looking.  I've listed a bit...  and shipped a bit.  Of course, neither requires me to look at listings....  but I'm annoyed that there are definitely buyers who are getting the same issue.    Not a good look, Ebay.

Thankfully, I've gotten a decent sale in the last hour, so at least some Buyers aren't experiencing the issue.

Problem resolved itself that afternoon....   I noticed that Ecommercebytes ran a story on it, too.  

I don't really mind an occasional Glitch if it is resolved quickly, but we sure seem to encounter a lot of them.
