.a window pops saying they won,t allow my listing, as I have my contact info in my listing? Huh?

When I hit the LIST IT button, a square box popped up saying they couldn,t list it, cuz I had CONTACT information in my listing??  **bleep**? Oddly, the only contact info was ASKED of me b4 I. Could list... .the email address I use to receive Pay Pal Pay,ents..which was kinda odd..as they have had that for YEARS!  Was this a scam? Being hacked?  So I tried removing my email address, and  couldn,t remove it ...I spent forever on this listing, cuz they wanted so many new things...like product codes, etc. haven,t done this for about 6 months...what happened?  Thanks in advance

Are there any numbers that look like they might be a phone number in the text of your listing? Any "@" symbols used as shorthand? eBay has some simple algorithms that look for phone numbers and email addresses in the text; they can make mistakes, so it's best to remove or change anything that might be mistaken for phone or email contact info.

Omg. That was it! I had written the @ sign when I suggested they could go to 

@usps to check that my shipping charges were in line with what I had written..and erased the @ symbol, and my listing went thru. 

Thank you so much...I DIDN,t want to list it this late, as it is after midnight on the east coast,,but I am so DONE with it, that I listed it anyway. At a very low price...I just hope people will c it, lol I was OBCESSED with this **bleep** listing...and listed it low, hoping people would bid high.lbutbatnthis point I was ready to sell the stuff on my neighborhood website, it is Christmas stuff.  I wonder why so much has changed in such a short time,, I spent 2 hrs getting my wording correct and hopefully enticing. 

Again, thank you for your help.
