In the past 2 days I've clicked on at least 15 auctions where there was absolutely no description. No picture, no description, etc. Like there was no ad there at all. Is anyone else noticing this?
Edited to add: So far I only see this happening with closed auctions. (Recently closed auctions). You see the top of the auctions like normal, and then there is that purple bar that says "DESCRIPTION", nothing under it, and then another purple bar that says "BIDDING".

I noticed that earlier today too! I recently came upon and bought an item that I sold once before about a month ago. I went to copy my description from my original auction, and there was no description!

ExecGirl....ME TOO!....I found a couple, didn't think much of it, but ran into a whole bunch more tonight....
I'm seein' the description bar, then a single black line before the next eBay bar...Hmmmm, very strange....wonder if that's the "new improved" closed auctions at eBay....AGH!...I hope not!!

Well, I guess the good news is I'm not the only one who this is happening to
The bad news is.. well, let's face it. This is ebay. It could mean anything. I surely hope it's not the "new" closed auction format either! I am constantly looking at closed auctions for various reasons.

ebaY has been turning these off to try to fix a re-occurring problem. They have done this a couple of times that they have posted on the AB about, and probably several times that they did not post about.
From yesterdays (19 Oct) AB -
To correct an earlier issue with completed items that ended between October 28 and October 31, the completed items descriptions for all items in October will not be available from 14:00 PST today until tomorrow.

Thanx Rosalinda....Guess I should start readin' the AB first, before I post here...It's gonna be hard tho'...cause most of the best/current info is found at AW, not eBay!...

Rosalinda:
Thanks for the info! But the auctions I was trying to view just ended today - not in October. Guess ebay forgot to update their announcement board.....
