I had a new experience this evening when an auction I tried to lauch via Vendio was ended before it began, saying "The venue ebay has possibly returned the following message:Error 240: Item cannot be listed or modified because the title and/or description contains improper words.
I am at a loss to find the "improper words." This was a listing for a CPR training dummy. I've attached the full text below.
At first it didn't seem like a Vendio problem, as my other auctions launched during the same session all went through, and this was rejected again when I tried to relaunch. But on the other hand, nobody to whom I've shown this can find any language that's even borderline-inappropriate.
Please take a look at the below text, and thanks for any insight you can lend.
RESUSCI Jr. 4’ CPR/Lifesize Mannequin & Case
You will be hard-pressed to find a more realistic looking, sized or weighted “guest demonstrator” for CPR and Mouth To Mouth Resuscitation training than this Resusci Junior, manufactured by Skillmeter of Norway and distributed by Laerdal Medical Corp in New York. In addition to jointed shoulders, knees and hips for easier positioning, this young man (I know, it’s called “Resusci Anne” but this one doesn’t look like any “Anne” I’ve ever met) is nattily dressed in shorts and an official “Resusci Junior” size 8 tee-shirt. This includes illustrated assembly and cleaning instructions, as well as a roll of plastic, disposable airways for group instruction. I’d rate the condition as good, with some smudging, and he’d definately benefit from a good scrubbing.
Shipping for this oversized package will be a flat $22.00 for UPS delivery within the USA including insurance and online tracking. This will be shipped in a Laerdal-issued protective carrying case, complete with a sturdy handle and wheels for easy transportation.

Hmmmmm....I had that happen once when two words (the end part of the first and the beginning of the second) spelled a dirty word, but I couldn't find any in yours. I'm thinking try 2 things. Either move the "Jr. 4' CPK" in the title to read "Resusci Jr CPR Lifesize 4" Manaquin", and see if that changes anything. Maybe it's too many initials/numbers in one spot. If that doesn't work, try changing the word "hard-pressed". That may be a word that is not recognized. Well, that's my 2 cents. Good luck!
