How do I check my template on mobile?

I'm updating my listings. I put my updated idea into a template (called testing.) How do I see it in mobile?

 

The mobile friendly has a picture of a cell, but it's blank & only says "no horizontal scrolling needed."

 

I signed into the ap on my phone, but I don't see a way there to see the templates.

 

Thanks!

So ebay's adding the viewport automatically. That's good. Thanks.

I have a couple questions I posted below. On quickview and how to see in responsive design.

On the template, it had to be published to be seen. But by template they're referring to the fancy stuff companies use on the websites then try to port over. I was just using the ebay tool called a template as a way to store some basic html, so not a conflict with their requests.

Re: How do I check my template on mobile?

UPDATE: I called ebay.

 

The mobile checker isn't working (where it shows how your listing looks on mobile), a global problem.

 

"View Item" tags are still in use. They aren't working right on mine so the rep put in a report.

 

So question I have left is:

How do I get the responsive modes in the browsers to list the mobile version? So I can test on different cell sizes?

 

I've learned a lot here, thank you for all the input! If you have more, I'm all ears!

In Firefox, look under Tools > Web Developer > Responsive Design Mode or else try the keyboard shortcut Control-Shift-M. Under "Responsive", select "edit list" to include different models in your drop-down menu.

That gets me to the browser mobile response pages! (Yay) but when I put the link for the item ... It shows it like it's on the mainframe. It doesn't do that what eBay does to pull out the mobile version of the listing?

Select a phone device model, then go to ebay.com and reload the page -- that seems to give me the mobile version of the page.

Re: How do I check my template on mobile?

Wow, thanks! That worked! Finally, I can see mobile somewhere besides on my one model of cellphone.

Do you happen to know why the Item View tags that bring up that mini Item description on the first page, are bringing up random parts of the listing, which I don't have the tags around? (Ebay put in a problem report for my account for this.)
<div vocab="https://schema.org/" typeof="Product">
<span property="description"> </span></div>

Also this wrapper that ebay says to put in for mobile uses 700px width and I've wondered why not use 800 or 1000px? I don't know where the 700 comes from.
<div style="max-width:700px; margin:auto;">

Re: How do I check my template on mobile?

Well, I took out the display:block's and used just your typing in text without much else, and that worked. Only needed the display block for the one box that I indented slightly. So thanks!!! That makes this much cleaner.
