Similar Descriptions? Weird!

[nwfloridapicker82]

I've been seeing with many listings the last few days. The descriptions all read like this example: "64 The Greatest Motown Original Hits 4 Album Set- 12" LP Vinyl Records. Condition is Used. Shipped with USPS Media Mail."

What is this? Is there an option to automatically have a default description? It seems like a super lazy way to list used items which vary so much and are so subjective. I won't be doing that any time soon.

I got a message from eBay a few weeks back on this account (that doesn't sell)

It was a horrendously simplified "how to list" short video.

That wording was the exact wording that eBay used in their sample video 😞

I remember thinking ... oh no ... what bad advice.

I can't find it right now, I'll dig for it a bit later, after more coffee.

I remember where it was ... it was in the "Scratch and Sell Sweepstakes" that was running at the end of August.  There was a "bonus" video at the end ... woman selling a high-end ski jacket with those exact words 😞

Wait till you find the listings that have no description at all, or the ones the give their whole "I've been selling on ebay since BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, and this is my shipping policy, terms of sale, and return policy".  I laugh.
