I used it for the first time the other day. I followed the directions of clicking to edit one of the items and copying the text you want to replace from there, to make sure you get all the special characters. When I submitted, it told me 0 items were updated. Frustrated, I went in to change each item individually, but they actually had been changed already.
Did you copy the text from the edit page? If so, check your listings to see if they updated or not.

I haven’t tried to use the batch text edit feature in quite a while, like years. I do recall though if you were doing a find and replace, you had to be really careful. I ended up with listings that had multiple, although somewhat varied, occurrences of the same text. I was also frustrating because you can’t change the font/size/color with batch text edit. So to the extent that appearance matters, it could be a problem.
Wishing you the best and when you do figure it out, I hope you’ll come back here and let us know.

Try using a short term, not a long sentence, with no symbols

Should I post a comment or an answer?
You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?
Post an answer for:
- Replies that directly and specifically answer the original question
Post a comment for:
- "Thanks," "Me too," "I agree," or "Works for me" types of replies
- When you would like the original poster to provide more details
- When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
