eBay listings compete on detail, and detail is exactly what typing discourages. Hold a key and talk: Typally transcribes and types it into eBay without you touching the keyboard.
We make Typally, so treat this as a vendor's guide. Where eBay has a built-in option we say so, including when it is the better choice.None. Listing titles and descriptions are typed.
Every buyer question that could have been answered in the listing costs a message exchange and sometimes a sale. Sellers know this and still write four lines, because a thorough description takes real time per item.
In practice people use it for: Item descriptions, condition notes, listing titles, and replies to buyer questions.
Typally runs in the background and types into whatever window has focus, so there is nothing to install inside eBay:
Install, sign in, and it waits in the tray.
Put the cursor in the field you are about to fill — eBay decides where the text lands, not Typally.
Nothing truncates part-way through.
eBay's description editor strips some formatting and enforces policies on contact details. Dictate plain prose.
Typally types into eBay's listing fields, so describing thirty items honestly, flaws included, becomes an afternoon rather than a weekend. The cleanup pass keeps the description readable, and detail written this way tends to reduce the buyer questions and returns that eat a small seller's margin.
A seller listing thirty items from a house clearance describes each one aloud, including the chips and scratches. Buyer questions drop sharply and so do the returns that used to eat the margin.
Describe the flaws as carefully as the features. Honest condition detail prevents returns, and returns cost far more than the sale was worth.

No. Titles and descriptions are typed.
Detailed condition information means fewer surprises for buyers. Sellers widely report fewer disputes — we have not measured it ourselves.
Yes. The message box is an ordinary text field.
