Mobile Optimized Descriptions

Hello.

 

I've a problem which for some reason I can't fix what ever I try. It's about Mobile Item Description. Once the description it's showing correctly .version_1.jpg

After refreshing the page it's showing this which is actually store categories.

I've followed the instructins from here and I'm wondering once the user open the product, which description will see the correct one or the one with the store categories?

 

What I've tried till now: removing all HTML/CSS tags, just plain text - no effect. Still the same. 

I know it takes time so eBay can show/apply the changes and I've waited for 5-10-15-20 minutes.

 

eBay Item number: 352250135132

Any suggestions?

Mobile Optimized Descriptions

I figured out away to turn this off and only  display the link to read the description. It was really simple but worked. I went into a listing that needed to be relisted. I placed this at the beginning of my description then hit enter 4 times to skip 3 lines.

 

"Users on mobile devices please click or swipe to see the full description as the summery can remove important information."

 

Then bellow was my description as normal. Then after the listing was relisted instead of showing a mobile summery with my listings description totally wrong with words missing and sentences combined improperly describing my item and items condition my item and giving the buyer a bad impression about my item. Instead it just showed the link to view the description. 

 

This was 2 days ago and since then I added this to all of my listings and relisted about 150 items. All were working fine then tonight low and behold they a caught on and taught their mobile optimizer to skip my warning to buyers and continue distorting my description. 

 

Mobile Optimized is totally stupid and not needed. They just need to set the character limit say 250. Then start at the beginning of the description. Once the character limit is reached place a link to see the full description. Sellers write what they want their description to be and no program randomly pulling out words and sentences will ever be able to properly describe a item. Plus if sellers do not want this program editing their description there should be a site preference to turn it off from their listings and just provide the link to the full description.
