This was fixed in one of the newer beta versions. Update to the newest version and all new listings going forward will be correct. To revise running listings use the Revise > Send Revisions to Site command after selecting/highlighting all running listings.

You can also use ebay’s find/replace command. Select all your listings in Seller Hub > Edit > Edit Fields > Description. Then do find http replace with https. I did this before SixBit was fixed and it worked fine.

According to ebay this is a phased rollout. So even though you’re opted in (as I am) it may not be working yet.

“If you click to opt in and aren’t selected as part of the initial group of sellers, don’t worry! You’ll be added to our wait list. Review the requirements (which are definitely good ideas for successful selling anyway) and keep an eye on your inbox. We’ll email you when it’s time for you to activate.”

Here is another screen shot with the Identifiers tab selected. I don’t see a checkbox for variations.

Will it be possible to use the “Send Revisions to Site” command to change all listings in bulk?

[Shane Feller]

Yes, the tags are still being inserted into all of my listings between the span tags, which ebay doesn’t allow. The fix didn’t work for me. I’ll open a ticket.

That is most unfortunate. Any revision through SixBit re-inserts the non-compliant HTML comment tags and . This then forces me to manually edit listings on ebay to remove these so the mobile summary description displays properly. I am not manually editing all of my listings on ebay again. The non-compliant HTML tag issue REALLY needs to be sorted out. Having the proper item description displayed is critical. I am basically unable to do revisions through SixBit because of this issue which is unacceptable.

Sally… What I want and what the ebay tags are supposed to do is extract a block of text from your full description to be used as the mobile summary description. In my case I want the paragraph Item Description to be used and other paragraphs like Shipping Info and Payment Info to be excluded. I don’t see how your code does that. Do you have an item number so I can see it in action?

My full item descriptions are mobile friendly and display fine when the link on the first page is tapped. What I am concerned about are those ebay generated summaries that show first and which many buyers never bother to tap to see my full description.

What’s the latest on this? Is ebay now allowing the comment tags? Can you elaborate on how the fix works?

[Shane Feller]

Thanks for the response, but that doesn’t help me as I have no idea how it got into my wrapper or live listings. I didn’t put it there. I don’t use any type of video. So how did it get there? I guess I’ll just do an edit of my wrapper for all live listings after the Mobile Summary Description gets sorted.

The latest beta version 3.00.224 states : Fixed issue with Mobile Summary not reflecting on eBay Listings. It is still not working for me. The comment tags are still present and the mobile summary is not displaying correctly.

[Shane Feller]

After a few hours the ebay bots have rebuilt the summary and it is now correct. It seems that the comment tags are causing an issue. Now I need to figure out where they are coming from. The code will work as long as no other html tags are present except those specifically allowed by ebay.

[Shane Feller]

The comments and are automatically added by either SixBit or eBay. I do not put them in. I have removed them and all disallowed tags from listing 351971765376. The code below is how it appears in the listing. The mobile summary is still out of order and not all there.

Mother of pearl and marcasite ring.

• Metal: sterling silver
• Hallmark: 925 GSJ CN
• Ring Size: 7-3/4
• Ring Face: approx 7/8″ x 5/8″
• Shank Width: 3.7mm
• Total Weight: 7 g.

The snippet doesn’t seem to have any effect. I looked at the code in the snippet editor and it doesn’t seem to be correct. The code for eBayMobileStart is

and the code for eBayMobileEnd is blank. The tags should be in the end snippet not the begin.

[Shane Feller]

To clarify… I have manually entered the code in my wrapper as per ebay’s specifications. I have not tried the snippet. I’ll test that.

[Shane Feller]

I have had this code in my description wrapper since it was available from ebay. The problem is it just isn’t working. I still get ebay’s randomly generated mobile description summaries. I have had several people look at the code after upload to ebay and everyone agrees it should be working, but it’s not. Very frustrating.
