    I have worked on that same sort of problem for a couple of months now. I came up with using Excel and VBA to send a request to get all active selling ItemID’s. Then, you can use getItem calls for each item number to get the old html description if you need that. I was removing the html that Vendio and several other trials had added so I did need the old html to manipulate programmatically. Last, you can write a macro to send back whatever new html you want to put in new. The only inputs you need are ItemID and html description.

    With the eBay api use GetSellerList to get all items.

    Then change all item descriptions with the call ReviseFixedPriceItem.

    Don’t forget to put the description in a CDATA block!

    Python example for changing all http in description to https:

    def revise_fixed_price_item_html(self, item):
    if "http:" in item["Description"]:
        description = item["Description"].replace("http:", "https:")
        settings = {"Item":
            {"ItemID" : item["ItemID"],
             "Description" : "<![CDATA[{0}]]>".format(description)}
            }
        api = Trading(config_file=self.config_file)
        response = api.execute("ReviseFixedPriceItem", settings)

    You can also take a look at DescriptionReviseMode (see links below)
