I see I am not the only one but the community pages didn't seem to offer me a way to post "me too" on the other complaints so I'll just start a new one. I loathe this "improvement" - if I want to see something simple like oh, the size of a ring or the length of a bracelet or necklace, I have to click on a button that brings up another window, takes 10 seconds, and doesn't show me the original info so I have to swap back and forth? I agree with everyone who says this is going to drive people away from eBay. I'm a small seller and I'm sure having some of the details I put on my listings on another page would mean that some people won't read them. As a buyer, I hate having to go to another page to the extent that if the info I want is not on the main page, I move along to the next item, and eventually I will stop going to eBay completely if all listings have this "feature". PLEASE LISTEN TO YOUR USERS!

It is very annoying.

It's not an "improvement". It's the consequence to certain sellers not following ebay's new policy for secured content on our listings. All sellers had several months to adjust their listings, but a good portion of them decided not to. The reason this change happened, as previously mentioned, is because Google changed the way web pages showed whether or not you are on a secure (https://) webpage, or a nonsecure (just http://) webpage. Ebay was under the impression that it's buyers would not like to purchase an item online from a page that screamed UNSECURE at them in the Chrome browser. I have a tendency to agree with that notion, so as a seller, I edited all my listings.
So... If you're mad about the change, and that's your right, be mad in the correct order. First be mad at Google for making the change, then be mad at the seller who didn't adapt their listings within the 3 or 4 month window, then be mad at eBay for trying to get millions of sellers to fall in line. EBay could have just pulled all those listings that didn't conform to the new policy, but instead they added that nasty "See Full Description" button that everyone hates so much.

If you remove the active content on your pages this will go away. I did it myself, it took time but that's the way life goes.
