Detailed Descriptions???

 

I’m trying to sell a pair of Louis Vuitton Shoes and have filled everything out; plus more. In the description section, it continues to say “Add any unique features or flaws to this description” and will not go away no matter how much I put. I cannot list my item until the message goes away but I don’t know what I’m supposed to do to get rid of it. I’ve added, taken away, spammed the description section even. Nothing is working-

@samastee84 

     Hmmmm did you try to add those 2 " flaws" exp: scuff and broken laces that you have in the description?

     If I may, please rethink this listing as I don't see it ending well. You have 1 feedback, this is a high end designer name, you have an auction on it, high $$ amount and it has some problems.

    Please, try to build up your FB count some by buying things or put some small items with lesser value on it to get your feet wet.

     Scammers are knee deep in the swamp just waiting for those L.V. boots and I don't want that to happen to you! Best to you

Good question! Shows you care about details!

In my experience, that message will not ever go away no matter how long or short is your description. Description should include those things you believe are essential and enhancing to your listing. Don't make your description longer for length sake.  

 

Generally, there is a tension between being thorough and being brief.  Too long and buyer won't read it.  (Some won't read it no matter what.) Too short and you fail to state information the buyer needs. Only you know how to strike the right balance to make the sale your way.

 

But also, the message you ask about will not appear in the published listing that buyers see. Consider it part of the listing form instructions. So, yes you can list your item even though the message hasn't gone away.

 

Good luck with your sale!
