Ebay - you are going to give me a heart attack

Was looking at some my listings today and noticed that on the drop down variation menu - it has changed the symbol for inches (") into gobbledygook. I've attached an example. The variation should say 18" (45 x 45cm).

Can anyone tell me if my listings also show this rubbish on their computers, or if they are having any issues with their variations?

I've looked at this on 2 different browsers on my Mac, and they both show the same thing. Not every single listing is affected, but 8 out of the 10 I checked were.

I swear,..........sometimes I just want to hit my head on something!

Grrrrr!!!!!!!

I'd get rid of the inch measurement in the title and the variation.

Just use centimetres.   Sorry, but the world works in cms these day.

You've got the size in inches further down in the listings. 

That should be sufficient for buyers.

Just my three-penneth  two cents worth

Stawks - I do sell a lot to the USA, so having the imperial option makes it easy for those buyers to undertsand what they are getting in a glance. Never rely on the average American to work it out for themselves.

  Yanks are supposed to work in the metric system.    They're just too lazy IMO

Can anyone tell me if my listings look "normal" now?

I started making changes where I could, but suddenly everything seems fine and displaying properly!

I've check about a dozen listings and they seem ok - if anyone has an opportunity to double check on their computers I would be most appreciative.

I'm hoping that it was really just a temporary glitch.

Just checked the first half dozen or so and they're all showing the imperial measurements cushions.

Thanks Padi.

Everything "seems" back to normal now.

I had changed about 10 listings, but now I will just stop and keep my fingers crossed that it doesn't go belly up again.

I did say they were lazy, IMO, Paddy

Who uses the metric system?

The Answer: The only remaining nonmetric countries in the world are the United States, Liberia, and Myanmar (Burma).

You wouldn't really expect the Yanks to do anything the same as the rest of the world, would you?
