Yes this is correct however it is important to note that an additional note AFTER a bid does not make that note apply to the transaction if that initial bidder wins. Meaning that note will not apply to them or the transaction.
If they are outbid and a subsequent bidder wins, it will apply to them or for them.
Do you have a link to policy? I never heard that before and couldn't find the policy that supports it. I would like to read more about it.
Auction-style listings
What you change in an auction-style listing depends on how long is left on the listing.

I think @coffeebean832 is specifically looking for a reference to whether a new description section is considered part of the listing description if the winning bid was placed before the section was added. I'm certainly curious about seeing backup for this assertion.
In practice this is probably a moot point, since eBay almost always sides with buyers in a "he said, she said" kind of dispute.
Interesting. I'm not sure why anyone would think that a note on a listing AFTER a buyer has already bid on something would have any net affect on the transaction if that same bidder wins. Logic would dictate here, or at least it certainly does for me, so I guess I'm just speaking for myself.

I do understand the humor in what I said, really I do. But sometimes, just sometimes, logic does dictate. And since we all know how Ebay feels about the buyers, there is no way in heck they would ever allow a seller to add a note to a listing that a buyer has already bid on and expect that the seller would be able to say, imply or expect the buyer to adhere to it or be informed by it.
I think the lack of ability to change the description after a bid is evidence that Ebay won't allow a seller to hold a buyer to any note they may put on the listing after the bid. But that is just my opinion.
