I cannot delete the "empty" space after the description.

[fortheoccasion]

I cannot delete the "empty" space after the description.  In fact, not only does it not delete the empty space - when I hit the delete button, the cursor actually goes down and makes more empty space.

An example is item number  222563792490.  Any way to fix this?

@fortheoccasion I'm not sure how that happened, but if you can't delete the line breaks from the rich text box, then click on the html tab in your listing. All of this stuff can be deleted:

How will I know when to start deleting - it's got a lot of lines of other stuff.

What are you using to post the ads? Phone or computer.

After your description's text.

If you are on a computer, you can hold the left click button down on the mouse and drag the cursor over the empty space to highlight it. It will show up in blue. Then right click with your mouse and you will get an option to delete.

Computer   I have tried that.  The "blue" doesn't show up so nothing can be deleted.

That is unusual. If you continue to hold the delete button after your last typed character, does that not delete those enters either? 

[fortheoccasion]

No, most of the time I end up with more empty spaces.

@fortheoccasion Try clearing your cache, cookies, and browser history. Log out of eBay. Reboot your computer. See if that clears the issue for you. For listings already affected at least you know how to fix it using the html tab.
