Auto correct changed a mistyped word with something bad...

Question

So, the gist of it is this:

Every item I sell, I let the buyer know how I package it with a typed out explanation too since I'm transparent on packaging, shipping and what not. I mistyped tape and it changed it to a word that starts with "r" instead of tape.

Am I going to get a mark on my account or banned for the misspelling/auto correct incident or should I ignore?

I try to ensure the customers see what they're getting and how it's package, and, well... I have big hands thus typing on mobile tends to have some hiccups...

In this matter, that would be a violation of the eBay abusive language policy

Language that is hateful, obscene, offensive, profane, racist, sexual, defamatory, violent or discriminating, including on the grounds of race, ethnicity, color, religion, disability, national origin, sex, gender and gender identity or sexual orientation, cannot be used in profiles, user IDs, chat rooms, discussion boards, member communication, eBay Claims, eBay Stores, feedback, listings, product pages, collections, and any other areas of the site

Activity on eBay is required to follow this policy, the eBay User Agreement and all applicable laws, as well as respect the rights of third parties. If it doesnâ€™t, eBay may take action consistent with applicable laws and the eBay User Agreement, and may even be legally required to do so. Such actions may include, as an example only: Removing the listing or other content, issuing a warning, restricting activity or account suspension.

Now I am showing the above policy as a general thing. I cannot speak for eBay but you might get a warning from them. I'm sure if you explain to the buyer, they will understand
