Why does eBay hide item descriptions on the mobile app?

Whenever I pull up one of my own item listings on mobile, whatever I entered into the item description field is hidden behind a "see full description" link. It confounds me that the most important details that a seller would take the time to fully ex...

Ebays "Final Value Fee" why does it include shipping paid by buyer?
