One of the worst offences bad sellers commit is using AI to write their descriptions. It always reads like a 6th grader trying to meet a word count, while saying absolutely nothing about the item.

I use Ai for mine and im a good seller. Never had a complaint about any item I sold.

I assure you, the AI is not helping. You have had no complaints likely because the items arrive in the condition implied by the images, and buyers are mostly ignoring your descriptions.

You can assure me all you want, random stranger on the internet. But If it works , it works.

I hate the AI descriptions - I want to read words that describe that specific item, not some generic blah blah about how it revolutionised home computing on release.

There that's 2 random strangers now 😋

If the seller isn't going to be bothered writing the description it may as well be left blank for all the good it does to have a machine spew a bunch of uninformative verbiage.

I think I saw this on Slashdot:

eBay is 50% AI now too. You're trying to buy a used socket wrench and you get a description like "This innovative tool exudes a stylish design and charming performance. With a length of 0-99" and modern rugged design it will give you years of powerful service in your undefined business."

Lol

Descriptions of used items that don't describe their condition are basically useless. Same with stock photos of items that aren't the actual item in question.

This is true.
