Buyers reading descriptions - Not !

I received the following positive feedback -

Quite big for a size 14. Great item though. Thanks.

However on my description I put -
Xxxxx. dress size 14 - but stretchy and generous and would possibly fit size 16. Dress is very flattering as has tummy gathering and partial wrap over skirt with split. smoke free home

Lol....but I wonder if all buyers read descriptions ! It may not be their own fault. On the IPad app the sellers description is hidden on the tab at the bottom of the page - which only appears after you scroll down a bit. On the Iphone you have to click the right arrow and it then appears ! Maybe ebay have made it more difficult for "some" buyers to find and thus read the descriptions ?

    Yup. Buyers aren't encouraged to read descriptions on mobile apps. I list with the expectation that they've read the title and seen a picture, anything beyond that is a bonus.

    I continually get "smaller/larger than expected" comments even with the exact measurements in mm and inches.
