Missing Item Descriptions?

[redlinear]

Noticed earlier on a sold item, No item description.  (took forever to find it...ugh)
  Just opened up a few more of my running listings. No item description at all. It's missing.
Checked on another desktop here, signed out on that one...no description.
Checked on my phone...It's there.
   eBay killin' me today.

Same problem for me earlier today. I listed some Axis cameras and the description field was just an empty white box. It persisted for about an hour, then appeared to be fixed.

I spoke to soon - now that listing is back to showing no description at all.

This has been happening to me on my desktop a few times yesterday and once this morning when I looked at someone else's listing.

I can see the description. Maybe it is only the seller who cannot see their own descriptions?

Probably part of eBay's long-term strategy to discourage purchases of non-PL items. 

Soon, the missing description area will have a bunch of "you may like" tiles - can't have all that blank space going unmonetized.

I can see descriptions on the ones with the items #'s

Better half  has a sold item with no description (he's chrome, I'm firefox)......I can't see that one......

weird.....

he did try a relist and description shows up there, tho he didn't actually relist.

Great idea! Do you think eBay will include my listings if I set my Ad Rate to 100% ?

Same problem here! I listed about 8 items yesterday and 3 didn't show a description. (Still missing this morning.)

Description missing while using Chrome and Opera!!

I had a second person check it out and they didn't see a description either.

I checked  first 5-6, under newly listed search, and see descriptions......using firefox..

[philherz]

Thanks, but you looked at my personal account. I also work for another person and the ones with the problems are still only scheduled!

Of the 2 comics from yesterday with missing descriptions, one fixed itself today and the second needed to be completely relisted from scratch.  (????)

Two new listings worked OK.

Bizarre!!!!!!
