Ebay active content not allowing description text change

[dopedossiercollection]

Been on ebay for about a year now, and I'm having a problem putting up a new lisitng description due to "active content". ALl i have is 5 buttons(info,about,shipping,feedback etc.) in my description that change the header and then paragrapgh of my listing based on what the customer pressed to see. Now i'm being flagged with "active content", whilemy description is not doing ANYTHING except changing the text in my listing. All i'm trying to do is make the description look more proffesionall with some HTML. Meanwile thousands of ads on eBay right now have the same thing in their description which I am getting flagged for. Almost evey good listing has a description, in which you can press: shipping, handling, about etc. and the information shows up. Does anyone know why I am being flagged or what I can do about it to help my ads look a little more professional. Thank you.

Hi, @dopedossiercollection.

You should Google active content scanners for eBay. There are tools out there that scan your description and can remove any active content from them. You just copy the new code that they give you and paste it in to your description.

If a seller has an old listing and doesn't change it they can float thru the progrom period for that offense. Then Ebay will quit boting that issue and go to a new one.

You can no longer use JavaScript in your listings. You are permitted to use CSS and HTML.

@shipscript might be able to help you out with specifics.

It is possible to make tabbed content using either javascript or CSS. eBay has banned the javascript version and if anyone still has that type of code in their listings, the code is blocked and the tabs don't open.  So you are not seeing the scripted version on eBay anymore. Instead you are seeing versions where the seller has changed to CSS to be compliant. 

eBay has posted a framework recommendation, but you would need to add the missing style tags to make it functional:

For something a novice can use, which is also fully customizable by those who know CSS, you might try the eBay-compliant "Terms Tabs" tool from this page:
