Active content issues

So I have been trying to deal with this now for weeks.  I keep getting messages that I have several listings with active content & im having some issues with getting rid of this. I used to use seller sourcebook to create my listings. (I no linger use this sevice) so i thought my issue was coming form those listings. I ran trough their active content remover & the process completed saying all active content had been removed. I again got another message not long after that stating that I still had several listings with active content. I used the ebay provided tool for scanning & removing active content but it doesnt seem to be dong the job. There are a total of 72 listings it says that have active content. this is now the third time im trying to edit & update these listing & despite my updates, it is not removing tha active content. Im so confused. I went through each of the 72 listings indivudalluy removing all kinds of content that I thought it might be & stripping my listing to the bear minimum  & still it has active content. I am at my wits end & have spent hours upon hours trying to resolve this but when I scan using the ebay tool it is still showing active content...  Im ready to pull my hair out.  I just got another notification from ebay today saying I need to remove active content but can not figure out what it is I need to remove. If anyone has any other sugestions for what it is that is causing this issue, i would be very grateful!

I scanned your listings here and you do still have 73 to repair.

When you run the scan, click the EXAMINE button on each red or orange row to open the Sandbox tool. Then scroll down and open the "Filtered" tab on the Sandbox tool.

 

Copy the repaired code from the Filtered tab and paste it into the HTML tab or HTML view of eBay's description editor. Then save your revision.

 

This screenshot describes how to copy/paste from the Filtered tab to eBay's editor. Depending on which eBay editor you are using, you may see an HTML tab or there might be a small HTML link over on the right side of eBay's toolbar.

Your step by step instructions with & instructional screenshot where a HUGE help.  I think I got this now.. I am extreamly grateful for your help with this. I honestly dont think I would have gotten it without the screenshot to refrence as well. (whew...no longer pulling my hair out) It really isnt that dificult now that I understand the process a little better.
