Compatibility chart failure...

From day one this thing has never been accurate, now it is failing to list chosen vehicles. Knowing ebay, I recheck things daily, so today I had to revise this item eBay item number:376003330693, which when I initially listed it, it had the vehicles, Chrysler, Plymouth, and Dodge that it fits...again checking everything, I noticed the entire range for Plymouth that was initially chosen is GONE! So I edited it and rechose the 
Plymouth Vehicles and saved......however it did not save..I finished revising the listing and saved it..to double check if the live listing was now showing the Plymouth vehicles...NOPE! Since ebay has been playing around with the platform, I have noticed more and more issue cropping up with the compat chart, as I said..to try to stay ahead of problems ebay creates I recheck everything when working on a listing...so I have also found for example a bolt the fit all 69 Chargers, which when listed the check box for all 69 Chargers was checked initially...and upon revising to add inventory stock, checked the chart...and found a number of the 69 Charger models were now unchecked! not by me! Initially when ebay rolled this out I rolled my eyes, knowing this would never ever be accurate and having been in worked for Chrysler Parts and restoration for 50 years, that no such compat chart exists on the planet...the only thing that comes close is what the salvage yards...use...Hollanders manuals and they even state it is a guide...and not the gospel...today when you roll up to the dealership parts counter you better have your vin number or you won't get any parts,(unless you have a savy parts manager) as there are endless variables!  Here is an example also Chrysler never made a 69 Charger R/T with a 318, but ebay shows one! Now I know better, but what about those who have little experience and assumes ebay knows and check the box...lol then someone buys one assuming it fits, which most likely will not, Now will a 318 physically fit in a 69 Charger R/T YES but that is a backyard swap and not what we are dealing with here. Then ebay adds insult to injury and rolls out the Guaranteed fitment marketing ploy....So for ebay to think they can create a vehicle compat chart for parts for every motor vehicle, every year, etc etc etc is crazy and impossible to do, muchless make sellers responsible for it, and assumes the buyer knows what he is looking for,in the case of old cars, where who know what has been changed or modified, then files a case "Does Not Fit" !!! This whole comp chart needs scrapped.

Compatibility chart failure...

Whatever changes you just made to the compat chart only made a bad idea worse, as unless you have your screen settings on the small screen, you cannot scroll down to add or revise a new or update a listing, won't bother with the chart anymore, will continue to list ACCURATE fitment in body of description.

 I work on a desktop...so I imagine using a phone app would be impossible as well.
