When creating ads today, i notice that some listings have no description after submitting. When I click revise, the description appears, but is not present on the live ad page. When checking with chrome inspect tool, my description is replaced with a bunch of spam links. See photo below.
example:

I can see your description on that listing, so I'm not sure why you are having trouble with it. See my screenshot below.
Your description is hosted here:

Try clearing your browsing/cache history and if that clears it up.

Looks like malware may be on your computer or browser. Or perhaps your security software is malfunctioning and is listing all the malware sites that it normally blocks.

How can it be malware or security software, when dozens of others are seeing the same intermittent issue?
It looks like it is working every time I check as of today, so ebay must have fixed the issue.
