GRRRRRR!
Pat, this is more of a question for you than anything. Feel free to pass me on to someone else if you need to.....
I just listed 20 items using the Manager. All had my nice (at least I think it is nice) HTML template that I created which I have had no problem with when posting normally. So after I upload, I go to look at one of the auctions and the only thing I could say was YUCK! It is very ugly.
For comparison sake, take a look at #'s 970295 & 917663. This first was listed using the Manager (please excuse the missing pic, I am uploading the batch tonight) the other was posted the normal way. What went wrong? I will leave that one alone for now so you can see it, the others I am going to edit and recopy my template into the listings.
Would appreciate any help that can be offered, and no hurry. For the price I paid I don't expect priority service.

OK, I need to publicly humiliate myself and beg forgiveness of everyone involved here...........
I discovered what the real root of the mangled HTML was. It turns out after poking through some Access options and looking at the text file that I uploaded the first time, that it was Access that put those extra quotes in. Turns out there is an option to put double quotes " around all text fields which is what was happening. I was able to upload another file tonight without any characters added in and everything looks good.
So I apologize to Pat and all the nice programmers at Auctions.Com that he spoke with on my behalf. Next time I will look a little closer before I type.
