Instruction

Use this tool to prepare a plain text Mobile Summary for eBay. You can choose an invisible summary that won't display in your description, or you can make the summary visible and set it apart with a border like an abstract or summary introduction to your description. After creating the summary, add it to the top of your description in HTML view.

The tool will count characters so that you will know if you hit the 800 character limit that applies to plain text. If you alter the outer summary tags, the counter won't work. Adding blank lines between sentences in the code will not display blank lines when viewed. Instead, all the lines will run together like a paragraph. You may use <br><br> for a full paragraph break, but that will consume 100 characters of your 800 limit.

While eBay allows very limited HTML in a mobile summary, we have found too many cases of editors corrupting inner code, thus disabling the summary. So we recommend a plain text paragraph as a summary.
