Why has eBay removed item description access from the dispatch/postage screen? | Postage

Has eBay removed access to item descriptions from the postage/dispatch screen?I’ve recently noticed that when purchasing postage, the order panel now only shows a basic summary (thumbnail, price, and “print packing slip”), but no longer provides a clickable link to view the full item description or easily revise the listing.Previously, I could quickly check details or adjust quantity (especially useful if inventory had dropped to zero) directly from the dispatch screen. This was an important part of my workflow.Now it seems I have to leave the postage page entirely, search for the listing, revise it, and then return — which is much slower and increases the risk of errors.I don’t recall seeing any notification about this change.Was this intentional, and if so:Why was it implemented?Are there plans to restore access to the listing from the dispatch screen?How are sellers expected to efficiently manage stock adjustments during dispatch?This feels like a backward step for smaller sellers who rely on flexibility and quick access to listing details.Would appreciate clarification from eBay or other sellers experiencing the same issue.
