Use jQuery

$(document).ready(function(){
  $(".showDescriptionTextbox").val($(".Product").val());//to initialize
  $(".showDescriptionDiv").text($(".Product").val());//to initialize
  $(".Product").change(function(){
    $(".showDescriptionTextbox").val($(".Product").val());
    $(".showDescriptionDiv").text($(".Product").val());
  });
});

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select name="v" class="Product" id="dropdown">
    <option value="fkt">Flipkart</option>
    <option value="snd">Snapdeal</option>
</select>
<br/>
<br/>
value in textarea: <input type="text" class="showDescriptionTextbox">
<div>
or you can display value in div: <span class="showDescriptionDiv"></span>
</div>
