Hey guys,
when I'm in the process of creating an amazon auction i get this error:

The venue amazon has possibly returned the following message:

The description contains HTML tags that are not supported by Amazon. Please change the description.

Im confused because I am simply using the same auction description that I have in yahoo and ebay auctions.

Whats the deal with Amazon?

-thanx in advance

Hello,

Amazon is really strict with HTML in listings. They only really allow basic HTML so you may want to review your HTML and check with Amazon so that you know what is allowed, and what isn't allowed.

Regards,

Sonya

Hello Sonya,
Take a look for me if you would:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MfcISAPICommand=ViewItem&item=2915961000

Can you see anything here, that would result in an Amazon issue?
I currently have no idea on the issue.

-thanx

Hello,

Here are tags that are not supported by Amazon, that you have in your item description:

<body>
<head>
<html>
<meta>
<span>
<title>

In addition to that, Amazon has a limit of 4,000 characters and your listing, along with the HTML, exceeds that limit. I hope this helps.

Regards,

Sonya

Thanks,
that really sucks.
I use frontpage as my editor.
Is there any setting that I can put it on to automatically take care of my issues?

-thanx
