Question
Hi
I just sent a bunch of listing to ebay using turbo lister.
One keeps getting kicked back.
Error: either your description, location or checkout instructions has Java script that is not allowed.
I've checked the listing several times and I can't see anything different that I've done.
Do you have any ideas as to what it might be?
I do have several pics that are thumbnails through PhotoBucket but I have that in several listings.
Answer
I've never used turbolister, but when I get these types of errors I look for special characters like ",',*,? and find other ways to communicate the same idea. Or perhaps you have one really loooonnnnnnggggg word that needs an extra space in it. Or perhaps your description field is one character too long. Or you inadvertantly used some characters that happen to be special html character codes... like "<p> or <b>". Last resort would be to copy the listing in error to a simple text editor and then copy paste it back where it was before. And last/desperate resort would be to copy this listing and one that works to a simple text editor and compare... or simple start from scratch and type in the info and see if you still have the same problem.
Best of luck!

Hi
I redid it. I even went directly to ebay and tried to list it. It says it's in the description. I'm not doing anything different.
Your listing cannot contain javascript (".cookie", "cookie(", "replace(", IFRAME, META, or includes), cookies or base href.
Since I don't know what I am looking for, I took out the + sign in the title.
I do have " in the description but I use that all the time.
Here's what I have: does anyone see a problem? Thanks

Answer
Here are my WAGs...
I would first try replacing the 1/2 symbols with just 1 and / and 2.
Then the next thing I would replace is the # symbol unless you use it in other auctions.
I'm guessing you use "$" in lots of your auctions?
that's my first round of thoughts...

bolding mine... you might want to take a look at this word while you are hunting and changing anyway... that's my kind of typo; most of the right letters in whatever order!
Answer
Hi
Yes I caught the typo. Thanks.
I took out the " the + took out the pictures, took out the code with the club99 image and link.
So far nothing has worked.
I closed it out. Maybe if I take a break it will work next time.
Answer
OH GEESS!!!!!!!
I removed the word Cookie out of the description (cookie jar lids)
and it's now ok.
What the heck is up with that?
So a person can't write a description using the word cookie?
error message: Your listing cannot contain javascript (".cookie", "cookie(", "replace(", IFRAME, META, or includes), cookies or base href.
What if you're selling a cookie cook book? etc.
Answer
Amazing... guess you would need Kevin to help write up a description of that cookbook in "Australian English" so it could be a Biscuit Cook Book!
Perhaps it was a problem with the "." being before the word "cookie"...
Good job!
