What is wrong with this? I'm apparently not allowed to list this item. I see no improper words or listing violations. Can you help?
"Perfectly beautiful, and beautifully perfect gold mesh evening bag by Whiting & Davis, a gift to me from a rich boyfriend in 1954! Used two or three times, treasured, and now ready to go to a good home. Gift-quality bag, all perfect, including rhinestone clasp, gold mesh, 5-inch chain drop, interior satin lining. W&D label inside.<p>
PHOTOS DON'T DO THIS BEAUTY JUSTICE! Lovely clasp has five prong-set crystals.<P>
Great gift idea for that treasured friend on your holiday list--or for that teenager looking forward to her first prom.<p>
----->>> Total priority shipping weight is 1# 8oz. International shipping available (e-mail seller for shipping quote, please). Insurance is optional. Fair shipping, no gouging!<p>
E-mail your questions for a speedy and cheerful reply--guaranteed.<p>"
The problem with this listing is the text "Insurance is optional", which eBay no longer allows. Please try removing this sentence and let us know should you continue to have trouble with this.

Thanks very much, Nathan!
I've been saying those exact words in my listings for months. I wonder when this new rule went into effect. And is eBay trying to get us all to offer insurance? (My paranoid suspicion is that that extra cost would benefit PayPal and therefore eBay.)
Could we say "Insurance available," or "Insurance on request"?
This is a change they made some time ago. EBay does not publish how they automatically search for listing violations, unfortunately. You are allowed to build the cost of insurance into the shipping or item cost. However, you are not allowed to offer insurance as an option, or add it in as a cost in addition to the shipping or item cost.
