OK, perhaps a newbie question here but how exactly do I fix the problem of having my ebay pages appear in little bitty font size? This only happens on ebay, not on here or anyplace else. I began to notice it yesterday and find I have to squint to read anything. Probably my finger slipped on the mouse somehow but now I find I cannot get back the original page appearance.

ebay's help function used to be useful, now it is ludicrous. I kept typing in adjust font size and got returns on listing 'adult' items!

Is this only the font size and not the images? That's rather odd.

The temp fix is to enlarge the overall screen view. Most browsers will do that by hitting CTRL and + keys at the same time.

If that's not the solution then advise what browser you are using. Otherwise search "font size too small in XXXX" with XXXX being the name of your browser.

I had that same problem when I was about 47 years old. A pair of glasses solved the prolem,

Another solution is to have cataract lens replacements. I'm happy to report that my eyes haven't worked this well in over 40 years!

Ok guys, thanks for the advice.. I think.

Actually I figured it out. I used the old trick with depressing the control key while rotating the mouse dial. It's back to normal. Funny that it was only off like this on the ebay page and nowhere else. Go figure.

This a memory-type feature, where your browser will remember the size setting for a specific site. It's more useful that way rather than making every single page larger, I think.

You can also clear your browser cache (with the proper box checked if you know how, or just look up how to do that) and all such size-adjusted pages should return to "factory-setting" 100% size.
