I'm not a developer, but how should a developer of LO should get access to the code of Ebay app to see what's wrong there?
So I would Say NOTOURBUG

Issue ONLY happens when copying and pasting text from a Libra Office Writer document. NOT happening when other documents such as Word or only office are used.

If eBay is importing the text as rich text and not plain text, it is their responsibility to handle it correctly. Please report the issue to eBay.
