item condition not shown on mobile?

I have always thought that  item condition was  the best place to put the most important things about the items condition because item condition notes are prominently displayed not far under the items title, no further scrolling necessary, on a PC at least,

 

i do not use mobile much for ebay but I just noticed that as far as I can tell item condition notes are not available on a mobile device, has this always been the case?

Re: item condition not shown on mobile?

I've never seen any condition notes when I view an item listing on mobile.

 

That's why I copy and paste my condition notes into the item description box when I'm listing an item.  I sell antique/vintage/used stuff, so more information than merely "Preowned/Used" is something I want (hope?) a buyer to read.

 

I sometimes search for items to buy on my mobile, but if I find something and it's used, I always go to my laptop to look for condition notes before buying.

Wow, all this time I have considered the seller notes of the item condition to be as vital as the photos of my pre-owned listings.

 

Dismayed to learn this is omitted on mobiles. 

I always repeat the condition notes in the main description field, but had always assumed that if a buyer fails to scroll down that far, at least they will have an accurate idea of the item’s condition.


Now that this omission has been brought to my attention, I will place the item condition notes at the very beginning of the description in a more prominent text.

Hello. I had the same problem with the app not showing this but I got to looking around and found it open you eBay app tap the my eBay icon on the bottom choose purchases go to the purchase in question click on the picture and it should show more information scroll down just a little where it says About this item and just a little down for that they have a tiny arrow > on the right side tap that arrow and it opens up just about everything you need to know about that auction. Hope this helps I don’t know why eBay has to hide everything it’s pretty childish in my opinion
