For a while now I have experienced several issues with eBay not being able to keep up with my typing speed.
Apparently, eBay's JavaScript code is reading the content of a text field, processing it (slowly) and writing it back - On EVERY keystroke.
Unfortunately, during that time, I have already typed at least one more keystroke, so when eBay's JS finally completes execution and (needlessly) rewrites the content of the text field, it removes any intervening keystrokes.
This results in missing characters.
It happens in feedback and when sending messages to other eBay users - But apparently NOT on this community form.
I have videos (which I, apparently, have to upload to YouTube?!) - I'll just host it myself: http://storage.sandalcomputers.co.uk:81/Media%20Library/My%20Recordings/2025-07-26_23-20-46.mp4 (I slow down for the last 3 words when I noticed it wasn't typing properly again.)
Also, here's a confusing message from eBay's AI assistant:
There's an update about your return OR refund (the word 'OR' is a big red flag here)... I'm unable to give it to you, though, because there isn't one. (Who. Wrote. This? O_o)
eBay... If you find you can't do something, ask for help!
