Bulk editing Item Description box. Changing the text box with new description.

I've contacted eBay and I was told I should also try and post here as someone may have experienced what I'm going through. So I'm trying to change the item description box where I have a brief description of the shipping policy and I want to post a new policy that shows the new shipping charges due to the postal increase. I want to bulk edit all 15k+ items in my eBay store. So I want to go from here:

 

https://www.ebay.com/itm/274969311677?hash=item400572b9bd:g:gRMAAOSw4RhhVj9b

 

TO this new description:

 

https://www.ebay.com/itm/274969328487?hash=item400572fb67:g:53EAAOSwSkVhVkZ1

 

I would even go as far as just deleting the item description box completely if needed, but I tried deleting it and leaving the Replace with box empty and it didn't work wither. Thanks in advance.

I have found that bulk editing doesn't "work well" if you are trying to replace entire paragraph.    I never had any success doing that.

 

Since you only want to change "dollar amount" you can do it this way.   Do bulk edit (search $3.50 and replace with $4.00).   Then do separate bulk edit (search $7.00 and replace with $7.50).

 

That should solve your problem.
