I had two yesterday that said the pages hung up at the description. I use Roadrunner and have no problems seeing them myself. Maybe it's ebay's problem??

I had the same prob. 2 wks ago with a WebTV user. No matter what I tried they couldn't see the description. I tried a simplified HTML auction, and that didn't work either.
I eventually gave up and sold the items off eBay to the person.

Did you ask if they are using Explorer or Netscape?
Netscape follows "the rules" and if there is no end of table marker, will cause this problem. Explorer is more tolerant of this error and will display the table. I get this a lot, pages display up to the description. I'll bet there is some posting program that generates sloppy code.

This could explain why pages get lots of hits but no bids then, huh? Does this mean that the problem could be in the code of the listing software or the counters a person isusing? And since the page shows up perfectly for the seller if nobody lets you know that your page isn't completely loading, how do you know there's a problem? Something not right here. If I'm understanding this correctly, why doesn't Netscape fix the problem?

Thanks for the feedback.
I think I may have screwed up the HTML when I relist auctions and delete the Honesty code. Maybe I'm deleting too much or too little. I do not know HTML but delete what I think is the Honesty section. Probably missing a ">" or something.
