On the ebay app which is the latest version as seen on an iPhone, I get this:
On the mobile version of the most up-to-date version of Satari on my mobile device, it looks like this:
There isn't a big variation between the two. Some text at right is cropped. And I'm only in my 40s but I find the text a bit on the small side.
Was this what you were expecting to see?
It is the same orientation as I see on the webpage itself.
Thanks Maureen. I'm glad it wasn't all garbled. I'm wondering, though, did you have to scroll across the screen to see all of it? If so, I'll have to speed up my revisions.
You're right .... the text is quite small. I'm so accustomed to using a 125 zoom on my computer screen and I forget that the actual text is going to look smaller. I'll revise that as well.
It seems that 2017 was the year of the revision:
* Re-do listings for .com (for those of us who wanted to continue to sell in USD)
* Ensure correct HTML code
* Run through the eBay scanner, again and again and again.
As well, become accustomed to Snap Ship and Shippo and the many other changes eBay has made over the year -- too numerous to mention.
I've listed so few new items this past year but it seems I'm working on eBay several hours a day. It's not what I signed up for 
It's easy, but it takes a bit of finessing to get it right: you simply click the home button at the precisely same time as the on/off button on the top right-hand side of the device. You'll know you've done it correctly when the screen flashes briefly and if you have sound enabled (I do not) it may even make a shutter button click. If you hit the buttons at slightly different times, your device goes to sleep, or you just end up staring at the home page. But you'll find the screenshot in Photos.
Jt, the images I shared all demonstrate exactly what the buyer (or me at least) sees upon clicking Item Description. There was no scrolling required to view anything, although that tiny sliver of text is missing at the right side, it's a character or two short.
A few years ago, I altered all the formatting on my Item Descriptions (I think it was at the same time as having to add Product Identifiers) and I remember it felt like it took a hundred years but I think it was only a few months. But it was steady work, and it felt thankless. I have to do it again soon to fix the reference to my store and user names which are changing. I'm not really looking forward to that, you have my empathy.
I picked 14 pt Georgia for my body text. I find it seems a bit garish in terms of its size but I tell myself that it's easier to read that way. And they keep telling us that more and more buyers are coming to ebay on mobile devices where the screen size is already small. Smaller type would look classier on my listings in my opinion. But this size is nice and legible. Plus, the typeface determines legibility as much as it is the size.
