Have Ebay changed format

As per title, have ebay changed their page format.

Since the end of last week, when I open up a listing there is no full item description on the page.
Now have to click on the description button to open up another page on my browser.

The description is in plain text format ? , it's as if I am looking at a mobile phone ebay app.

If it is a new look, I hate it.

Windows pc, chrome browser.

Being a dumb ass, have I accidentally clicked on something to change the page format.

Not noticed a change myself - Windows 7 Pro + Chrome and just checked to make sure.

The mobile app is indeed somewhat annoying having to click on the description link.

Mines the same
Likewise, opening a new test page with the description, is pants!

Thanks chaps

May clear my cookies & cache files to see if that helps.

Thinking about it, seems to have been like this since junior sent me a ebay link from his phone.

ETA

Displays as normal on my Ipad.

Cleared all of the above.
Still the same on both Chrome & Edge

Ive noticed a change on the mobile app (ipad) there is now the first few lines of description on the item page, with a click for more area, rather than just the click on item description.

Update

Looks as if my ebay is in some sort of beta mode.
Can't find any way of opting out.

Being an old fart, I did not know my windows 10 pc has Internet Explorer installed.
Ebay displays as normal using IE

My windows pc is well overdue for system re-install.
Loads of sites crashing while waiting for ads to load.

Mine is also back to normal.

I have not changed anything either.

Seems that ebay must have chosen some random users for some beata testing.
