is anyone else getting frustrated with the auto corrections being made while listing?

A number of times lately, while listing things, eBay automatically changes the words in my title and throughout the lising. They have changed Mossimo to Massimo, the abbreviation mos. to dos, and Sperry to Perry! This is very annoying because it adds two or three more steps to listing and a few times I have missed the changes made by the auto bot! Any way to get rid of this 'helpful' feature?

It's your device doing the auto correct, not eBay.

 

Are you listing via the mobile app or on a desktop/laptop?

Agree eBay listing never changed anything when I was in the listing page but they did make suggestions and alert in red text...when something was in error or missing like a problem with shipping details..if your using apps...on a phone maybe you can google a thread as to app text errors and see if you get any answers this way...hope it helps...

Thanks. I'll try using a different computer and see if it makes a difference.

What browser are you using?  I had to turn it off with Edge.  It was automatically on.  You should able to disable/enable it.  Google should help with the steps.

I am also using Chrome but it only started with the newer selling form. It always wants to check the free shipping box. Even if I un-check it. I think it's the form, not Chrome.
