I had this issue a while back. At the time, this is how I made it work. Instead of just working with the one line you want to modify, you need to copy and paste the ENTIRE description in the FIND box. Then copy and paste it again to the REPLACE box, and modify the parts you want to edit.
That seems counter-productive as the entire purpose of bulk edit is to edit many listings at once, and for most sellers every listing is going to have a different item description with only a piece (like terms of service or something similar) that will be the same.
If you're going to copy/paste the entire description and edit parts of it that's easily done editing a single listing at a time.
That said - I do frequently include more than just the part I want to edit if my goal is to delete something.
For example, let's say your description says something (pulling from the original poster's problem) like:
Please allow extra time for delivery with holiday package volume and weather delays. Any questions, just ask! I usually respond within 24 hours.
And you want to remove the first sentence.
You can find:
Please allow extra time for delivery with holiday package volume and weather delays. Any
and replace with:
Any
Including those few extra characters helps when the goal is to eliminate rather than change text. As I said in my first response above, characters need to match exactly. So if some listings have 1 space between delays. Any and other listings have 2 spaces between delays. Any that means you'd have to do two bulk edits to successfully revise all of your listings.
