I am unable to load to eBay through AW right now. I keep getting some sort of "disallowed javascript" message. I think they may have a problem with one of my links. I have links to e-mail me, Human Click and a link to my other auctions (on eBay). Anyone have a clue? This is frustrating!

I think the Human Click link can't be used anymore, and the email link has to be HTML.

I think.... All of the new restrictions are very confusing.

This is a result of eBay's greed and vindictiveness to eliminate PayPal and outside auction management services.
PayPal's liberal new policies for sellers has apparentlt hit eBay/Billpoint hard and they deserve it. Their answer to competition is restraint-of trade and I'm sure we'll see some lawsuits on this.

Oh, to list your items, you will have to delete any PayPal logos on the page, then submit. Then go to PayPal's Sell page and have small plain banner added automatically.

It was the Human Click logo... I removed it, and my auctions loaded just fine. This really sucks!

Yup any Java banners will no longer load directly in to your auction listing.

they will work if the service adds them like paypal or Aw below your actual listing area.

Human click inless they give you a plain Html link will no longer work in ebay listings.

I'm confused. Sorry guys but I haven't changed anything in my ads. Same old paypal logo I used since the begining and so far I don't see any problems. I have gotten some emails this week that my pages were not loading all the way but to me they load fine. The only thing I did change is I started putting my picture hosting back on AOL and I am only thinking maybe these people can't wait for the larger pictures to load. Please explain this paypal link thing a little clearer so I can understand and change things if I need to. Thanks soooo much. J

Hi jlb444,

I was just reading another thread about this.

http://www.auctionwatch.com/mesg/read.html?num=2&thread=374713

I too had become confused about the PayPal link. I haven't made any changes to my auctions and have not had any problems either.

At one point in the other thread it says...for 3rd party services, eBay would allow either a logo or text but not both.

I host PayPal's logo on my own server. I have done this forever because I hate that they change it at will and some of their logos are just not very attractive. Remember the Valentine's Day one? YUCK!! It's in simple HTML and I deleted all the text because it is just clutter in my opinion. I guess that's why I haven't encountered any problems thus far. Of course, none of this is officially enforced until May 31st anyway, right?
