Hello,   I used to sell all kinds of items on ebay since 1999 when I got my 1st computer!,

Can someone give mewhat the HTML would be for:    "Hit this link to view my other auctions."

question about HTML

'<a href="URL">MY STUFF</a>'

 

Where I've got URL will be the link ( you know, like http://), be sure to enclose it in " ". The MY STUFF is what a person would actually click on.  Don't include the beginning and ending apostrophes, I just did that to keep the board from turning this into an actual link.

You don't need to do this, it's already in all listins.

 

And, you can google how to make a link...

Never can find one when you need one.

 

Every so often, when I try to post, I get an screen that tells me my post contains HTML and I need to correct it.

 

The thing is, the post does not.

 

So, without doing anything, I just click on "post" and it posts.

 

Very strange.

Most likely it's useless to post links in your listings.
Many buyers are VERY leery about going to linked items.

This message usually appears when you have copy/pasted something in the body of your post....It is just another example of the awkwardly worded Lithium messages ~ the first/top message in red that you see says that there is invalid HTML in your post that needs to be changed....but if you scroll to the bottom of the message you will see another

message in red that says the invalid HTML has already been changed RollingEyesSmiley5.gif

 

 

How much better life would be, if a liar's pants really did catch fire!

Except, I have not.  I have just typed a reply and pasted nothing.

 

That's why it is so strange.

question about HTML

Not sure where to post this, but if this is the wrong place please point me in the right place. I got an e-mail from ebay saying: 

 

Starting in October 2017, Google Chrome—the browser used by almost half of all eBay buyers—will begin displaying the message "Not Secure" in the address bar when users visit standard HTTP pages or HTTPS pages that include non-secure HTTP content.

You have listings that contain or link to HTTP content, and we encourage you to remove this content from your listings immediately. Does this mean I have to change all my templates? And take off all my work on ebay and just leave it all black and white? I do upload all my images for my templates off ebay.  Like this Listing has my template https://www.ebay.com/itm/202080445600 

 

Thank you for any help or advice you can give me.
