Item description summary: "..vocab="http://schema.org/" typeof="Product".." doesn't work

[ddipfineart]

I am struggling these days for making this mobile feature work. I have just followed the line guides that ebay was providing in order to optimise listings on mobile screen.

As I read from previous posts, I am adding only plain text within the related 'div', as in the example below:

<div vocab="http://schema.org/" typeof="Product">
<span property="description">
	This paragraph contains almost 800 characters of text to be displayed in the mobile item description.
	And the text in this paragraph through this sentence contains 250 characters, which is the amount we
	will display without any actions on your part. When you tag a paragraph with these HTML breaks, the 
	content will be displayed to shoppers looking at your item. This will allow the shopper to see the 
	key information you want to display, without them having to click through to the complete description. 
	If your complete description is 800 characters or less and uses basic HTML we will display the entire 
	description without any action on your behalf – so the best practice is to keep it within 800 characters. 
	If you have a long description, make it easy for your buyers by using this option.
</span>
</div>

Does anybody knows if in 2020 this feature still works and can you share any best practice in order to let selected description appear?

Anybody knows how long it will take in order to appear ?

Thanks for the help

@ddipfineart Looks like you are getting that from this article? https://pages.ebay.com/sell/itemdescription/customizeyoursummary.html

Looks like it is from 2016 so it may not be relevant now. A good description is of dubious value anymore it seems for whatever it is worth.

Hi, yes I read already and what I am doing seems aligning with what is reported on that article from 2016, but the summary never appears on my mobile item view. 

As I reported in the snippet above, that is the same code wrapper I insert in my html. 

thanks anyway for the help

Hopefully someone else here will know more. You might try one of the boards relating to the mobile app.

Post your question on the Tools and Apps Board. There are folks over there that are knowledgeable about that kind of stuff:

Thanks a mill for the advise. I just did it.

Create a listing like you normally would.

Then use these tools provided by (shipscript) to handle the Mobile parts.

For individual listings that you are planning to list, you can paste your code from eBay's HTML panel into this tool and use the resize buttons to see, visually, whether your listing will reflow on mobile device widths.

Just for your info, I have resolved this issue. The problem is that I created the listing on ebay.ie . I tried to create the same listing on ebay.co.uk and it works perfectly.
