They all do it... you're not alone. As a frequent consignor to at least 8 different Auction Houses, it's become clear that the squeaky wheel gets the grease. For me, a recurring problem has been the number of photographs they post. How hard is it to show ALL panels of an autographed ball? How hard is it to photograph the front AND back of a vintage glove? I could go on and on, but you get the idea.
Lelands has gone through some significant recent changes.... Recently purchased by Clean Sweep, and Mike + Josh are no longer there. But they were bought be a good company and should be able to "right the ship".
I do sympathize with you in regard to "corrective actions" taken well after the auction has begun. As a bidder, I typically put in all of my marker bids and watched items on Day One. Then I pretty much ignore the auction for three weeks... only coming back to it on closing night.
So revisions/enhancements to the item's description often get overlooked, and I agree they need to get it right the FIRST time. Hope your glove does well despite your disappointment.... you should include a link to your consignment in your post. That said... quality items usually find their way to the top, and I see very little that flies under the radar these days!
