This is very strange. When I go to relist a closed auction in Sales Manager, as soon as the relist page opens up, an hourglass comes on and renames the title of every auction Mr (just Mr, as in Mister without the period).
This is the first time that I have heard of this issue. Is this happening on all listings or just a select few? If it is just some of them, let me know the item ID number for one of them so we can try to replicate the problem.

It happened on all of the relists I did this morning. I just went in there again after rebooting the computer and it's still doing it. As soon as I click on edit and the new window opens up the hourglass comes on and the title is change to Mr

Another odd thing is that when I go back to Sales Manager the correct title is sometimes listed in Pending, and Mr is sometimes listed in Pending--it seems to be hit or miss. Here is what a relisted auction looks like in quick preview after it happens.

Hi Ultimato,
I have tested this in your account and was not able to replicate the problem. I used the same browser as you. Try clearing your browser cache and your cookies, then restarting your browser and going through this process again. If you continue to get the "Mr" in your titles, please let us know.

I figured out the problem. No need to investigate further. It had to do with a software program I recently installed called Roboform that automatically fills in data on web forms. Instead of typing in my name every time I come across a web site asking for my name, it fills it in automatically. Instead of typing in gender every time a web for ask for title (as in Mr., Mrs., etc.), it fills in Mr. So because this program sees the word Title at the top of the Vendio auction page, it was automatically filling in Mr. I deactivated the program so it doesn't do anything when I'm on a vendio page and bingo, the problem stopped occurring. In case anyone else has a similar situation, you'll want to ask them if they have a program that fills in forms automatically and have them deactivate it.
