I found a reply to my query. I took out all the periods as one of them was triggering eBay to think it was part of a shortened url. So I got it listed.
It's not the presence of a period that was triggering eBay to think it was part of a shortened URL; it was the absence of a space following the period that was the problem. That would cause the last word of one sentence to butt up against the first word of the next sentence, making it resemble a URL. Your text will be fine with periods as long as you have a space separator before the next word.
It's possible that one escaped your notice if the period happened to end the line, and the screen display automatically line-wrapped to begin the next sentence on a new line, even though there was no space following that period.
