Ebay wants me to remove contact info from one of my listings...the type is a link. There aren't any links. What are they referring to in my listing? It's just like my other ones and there's no "remove contact" with those.

Just guessing, try to edit the listing in the advanced editor, switch the description to HTML view and see if there's a URL embedded.
Found it, you have a broken froo gallery link embedded.

wonder if it isn't your second picture showing the end flap that has the pokemon website on it?

I have the same question ebay wants me to remove ''links'' that aren't there. What if i use a program like inkfrog to upload my products, because it's link to another store. Do i now have to upload those pictures to ebay?

I sure hope not; just about every product made in the last 15 years has a website address somewhere on the packaging....

shipscript's tool doesn't show any html links http://www.isdntek.com/ebaytools/ActiveContentScanner.htm
Are these phrases the source of the issue?

This sounds like the new push with Google Chrome and the new security. You need to look in the editing of the ad in the HTML part of the body of the ad. In there you see coding and it can be tough if you don't know coding. You need to remove anything after the last text in your view about or normal mode in the same text box. Your stuff should end the >p and then there is more code. If you look, you will see either a URL (like for Auctivia or Sellercentral) code with address or a web site code (www.companyname.com) with address. Copy anything your going to delete first and put it in a word or notepad document and keep it so you can copy it back in if your ad works funny. If done right, you should no longer get the message.\
There is a tool out for doing just that. It is called the I-Ways tool and you should have received a link from eBay in you messages.
Hope that helps

All of my listings are being flagged as they relist. I found it was a link to inkfrog.com (my picture host and listing service) that has been added automatically to my listings for years. I removed the HTML associated with the link, and behold... eBay was happy again. To verifiy this, I also updated several soon-to-end listings. None of these were flagged when they relisted. Not sure if I'll have to do that 700 more times or not.....

I have 188 to revise! I believe it is the photo hosting service SellersSourcebook. Just like your listings, it is there automatically.
I am more of a visual learner. Although, if you could give me step by step info, I would greatly appreciate it.
