Getting the description of an item in a text only format

Can I use the API to get a non html version of an item description?

Summary

Currently, the API does not return a text only version of an item description.  However, eBy does have a parser that displays the text only version of the item description.  It is available at:
http://m.ebay.com/

The url for the description would be in the format

http://m.ebay.com/Pages/ViewItemDesc.aspx?aid=<itemid>&emvcc=0

where <itemid> is the ItemID for which you need the description.

Do check the site peridically for any changes or updates.

How well did this answer your question?
