I don't know if I have anything top worry about but I was just reading the Seller forum on ebay and I found a post referring to Active Content being banned on ebay in early 2017. I used the link that post provided to the tool that would scan a listing to check for active content...I used one of my item numbers and had it scanned. Apparently, there were 10 places in the code that Vendio uses on just that one auction. I tried another auction and it found 12. Will this be addressed before the new rule goes into affect? Here is the title of that thread: Scan listings for Active Content before eBay's ban begins. Or web address to that thread:

Will this be addressed, Vendio? When? How?
Using the tool, my items are coming up with dozens of active content (whatever that means!) in the html of the Vendio templates. I cannot imagine having to edit all my auctions for html to comply with ebay's newest way to waste our time. Not that I even know how to go about it.
I thought active content was just about things like videos and scrolling links...but apparently it something more technical than I understand.
Thank you for contacting Vendio Support.Please note we are aware about these changes and are already working towards ensuring that your listings are compliant with eBay's policy for Active Content.

I looked at my auctions and now there is a section showing that pertains to the active content (just above Item Specifics). It is a small paragraph that gives me an option in the form of a link to Preview and End Preview. I didn't see much difference except the marquee that Vendio offers which shows gallery photos all of my currently running auctions. In Preview mode, the marquee is replaced with a message about Javascript and that the browser I'm using doesn't support it. In End Preview mode, the marquee comes back. So apparently, I have to ditch the marquee??

I looked at the preview as well and found that I could not click on the photos to view them the larger format.
Thank you for contacting Vendio Support.Active content is a type of interactive or dynamic website content that includes programs like Internet polls, JavaScript applications, stock tickers, animated images, ActiveX applications, action items, streaming video and audio, weather maps, embedded objects, and much more.
