If you're just getting started selling on eBay, you may just be using the app on your smartphone.
There are a ton of advantages to using the desktop eBay.com compared to the app.
-Create listing templates
-Customize your listings with many more options
-Make your item description stand out with more fonts, colors, sizes, etc.
Change your preferences for shipping, payment, and unpaid items.
I highly recommend the desktop site. I'm sure this is known to many people but I hope it helps at least one person out there.

The item description? Hidden behind a non-descript link in the middle of a sea of irrelevant information.
The condition details? Nowhere to be found.
The messaging interface is designed to look like a text messaging app, which explains the people who send a series of short messages rather than one long one.
The estimated delivery date on the order I just placed? No idea.
I can hardly blame buyers for these things anymore...
I tried Firefox/Edge/Chrome/Brave on Windows/Mac/Linux and could not log into Ebay. The site "ebay.com" loads fine, i.e. it loads completely. However, when I click on "sign in" on the top left, 2 things happen:
If I enter my username, Ebay shows the error "ebay.com refuses to connect"
If I use my email, then Ebay shows some rubbish like:
"As you were browsing eBay, something about your browser made us think you were a bot. There are a few reasons this might happen:
You're a power user moving through this website with super-human speed.
You've disabled JavaScript in your web browser.
A third-party browser plugin, such as Ghostery or NoScript, is preventing JavaScript from running."
A quick search shows people also struggle with Ebay signin on desktop:
cant login using Google: https://www.reddit.com/r/Ebay/comments/1azz3yg/cant_sign_in_to_ebay_with_my_google_account_on/
endless login loop: https://www.reddit.com/r/Ebay/comments/v57tmt/having_issues_with_an_endless_login_loop/
Most solutions suggest clearing cache or use another browser. I tried all of that and still could not get past the errors. On mobile browser and mobile app, it works fine.
Any idea is appreciated.
