Safari font size on ebay is getting smaller and smaller. How to stop that..

Safari font issues on Ebay


I have the ipad2.When I go to the ebay website some of the pages are almost unreadable without zooming in on the text.

EBay starts to open in normal font. As it loads, the font gets smaller, When I go into different link on Ebay it gets even more smaller. More link I go into smaller it gets until it is unreadable.

This may happen on other sites for other people.

How do I peep it to same size all the time?

iPad 2

It's really annoying, isn't it? I've had this problem ever since I got my IPad 2 when it first came out and it's still continuing. The eBay app is not the solution as it's so unreliable. I've lost bids using it as it suddenly decides to go really slowly if I make a last minute bid. You can get messages on the app, though, if you scroll down the My EBay icon on the left. It's more reliable and less hassle to message through the app in my experience than using eBay in Safari.


So. I feel your pain, everyone. Wish Apple and EBay would take this seriously. Thanks, JFTmann for trying!

Me too. My problem started when I accidentally the Edit links and/or the Up/Down arrows next to this button. The font quickly shrank as mentioned by others.


I've managed to reset the font by pressing the Up/Down arrows which seem to change the sort sequence.


In case you can't find these links/arrows they are on the right side of the coloured separator bars just above the 'sort by' drop down selector.

Hi all


I had this problem from day one on my very early ipad1 and it's stayed the same regardless of ios.

It was so frustrating that I decided to have a dedicated eBay browser doing nothing else.


So I now use the Atomic browser, and have set the font size for eBay pages. That works fine. I still use chrome most of the time for other things as its linked into and runs better with my google accounts.


But at least I don't swear at the screen (as much) anymore than I used to.


Hope that is a help to some.
