Mobile friendly application

Used to be able to, or I forgot, how to check listings that aren't mobile friendly and change them in bulk.

 

I know Ebay wrote something about this, but I am at a loss.

Mobile friendly application

Here are the links to the i-ways tools that eBay recommended at one time:

https://bulkchecker.i-ways.net/

 

MOBILE FRIENDLY

I bulk scanned your listings with this tool and all of them are flexible enough to fit on mobile devices.  Only some of them contain the Viewport Meta tag.

If you want, you can bulk add the Viewport Meta tags to 200 listings at a time using eBay's Bulk Editor.  When you bulk edit "description", select the "add to description" option and add this code:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<style>img{max-width:100%; height:auto;}</style>

If your listings already have this code, a second copy will have no ill effect. However, you will probably see a date line added to all of your listings.

 

ACTIVE CONTENT

I also scanned your listings with this Active Content Scanner and found about 200 that have external links from old widgets.

You can use eBay's bulk editor on 200 listings at a time to address that problem. Since your listings don't appear to have any links that matter (no links to your store or to your other items), you can bulk disable all the links. When you bulk edit "description", select the "find/replace" option and put this value in the "Find" box:

href=

and this in the "Replace" box:

title=

That should then make the listings compliant.

 

BULK EDIT

While the above batch methods will solve the compliance issues, they won't clean up your code.  There is another tool that will bulk edit all of these issues and clean out some of the leftover code from older widgets, all in one pass.  If you want to go that route, just ask and I'll walk you through the process and tell you what settings to use. The instructions are long because every step is covered, but don't let that intimidate you. Smiley Wink
