Hi stampinsisters,

 

You will still be able to include pictures in the item description box, however some descriptions use active content to include a picture gallery with interactions like mouse-over zoom or auto-scroll.  It's only those cases that use active content to display images that would have to be changed to remove active content.

 

Thanks for selling on eBay!

Does that mean Auctiva's and inkFrog's scrolling galleries will not be permitted any longer?

That is correct. Those galleries (and the galleries I provide) will be blocked next year.  Plan your phase-out accordingly.  I am developing a stripping tool, so if you need help, just ask.  It is likely that eBay will provide an alternative or controlled promo-gallery outside the listing frame.
