I just looked at a preview of an item I am listing - I have a link in the description to look at other "comic" postcards in my ebay store. When I follow the link, I have 1078 items shown in the results! NO WAY! When I click on some of the items, I don't SEE the word "comic" in the descriptions! Could it be that ebay is picking up the font style (Comic Sans )????

I just searched "sans" and "font" and got 1073 results!! Does this mean I have an open tag somewhere? EGAD!

Hmm, that's a interesting little problem. Good luck finding that loop hole

Yes, it like it is picking it up from a font style tag.

How annoying, since you problably have buyers searching for comic postcards.

5981 items found in All Categories

Sounds like you need someone here that's a expert in HTML to give their advise. Might be worth shooting a email off to Vendio tech help. It's worth a try.

I think I found it - it's in my "custom listing text" and therefore in every auction launched since who knows when.....DANG!

Changing it now and then doing a test auction.

Does that mean you have to edit every single auction or store item now?? I sure hope not, you'll be busy until next year.
