message glitch

OK - in ebay messaging this is happening:

everything is being squeezed to the left - very frustrating

Yes, happening for me too. Either a bug, or perhaps eBay is hinting that users need to cut down on messaging each other!

Yup, me too. I'm on Win 10, Chrome.

I've just tried typing a message and it wraps at the 30th character. As it was ok yesterday I'm guessing that some trainee programmer hammered on the keyboard and reset the column width without realising. It'll probably be corrected eventually. By accident, as usual...

The same thing occurs on ebay.com and ebay.ca.

If you have messages from members forwarded to your email address, you should be able to read and reply to the emails directly rather than going through the eBay message inbox and its clunky interface.

Hi All,

Thank you for your posts.

This has been reported to tech and they are working on resolving it as soon as possible. Once they provide an update on the fix I will post back.

Thank you,
