eBay randomly inserting <strongr> into my listing descriptions after saving.

[starbase72]

I can't get rid of the things. When I edit the listing and fix it, once I save it's inserted again at random points in the listing description. I tried creating a different listing description from scratch and it still did it. I have stuff to get done today and this is frustrating the hell out of me.

Me too !!

I just go off the phone with support.  No luck figuring it out.   So, ... it's not just me.

Similar issue, text formatting keeps getting removed when saving or listing, ie. spacing, boldness keeps changing. 

I tried removing everything and starting fresh, but go to list an item and its all jumbled up again. Giving up for the day. 

[starbase72]

That's what I ended up doing as well. I need to have them live tomorrow though, so I'll just have to lump it I guess. Ridiculous.

Same think here. Also </l> </p> is having some issues as well as <strongr>. Despite reformatting manually several times, the changes keep reverting back to complete formatting mess.

I'm having the same issue when selling similar or revising a listing all font changes to bold.

Granted, I have parts of my listings in bold font but not the entire thing.

 Listing commences with or without the glitches.

Is this going to be fixed or are we stuck with it?

Experiencing the exact same issues as ebooks diva for past 2 days.   

Tried starting from scratch for listings. No such luck.  

Listings look ridiculous.   Thought I broke it!

Is there anything common between those of you having the issue?

Is this being done via a computer/web browser, or via the app?  If a browser, what browser are you using?

Just curious.

Hey @ebooksdiva! Do you have an item number that I can use for reference?  

[ebooksdiva]

@gator08041971 

I don't know about commonality, but your new listings have the same issue unless you chose to use Bold font. 
I use Windows 11 with edge browser or iPad with Safari. No difference.

@ebooksdiva 

I did a listing late last night.  Didn't have any issues that I'm aware of, unless I'm not seeing it:  187085764916

I take that back.  The fonts look a bit different compared to other listings, but other than that....

Yes this is a new listing 256873949923, this is a revised listing 365438524674.

[ebooksdiva]

The font in your listing looks all in bold to me 

[gator08041971]

Yeah, I guess they must be.  Dang.  Okay then.  Tried to edit and adjust, but if anything now it looks worse.   Wow.  LOL

No one is immune to eBay glitches lol 😆 

I think  the techs fooling with fonts and html need glasses 🤓 or something better to do than mess with things that have been working fine.
