Please, if anyone can help me would be greatly appreciated .
My items are seasonal and the big change with "Active Content" coming up In June could affect me badly in my upcoming listings .
Lot of other folks sell in the same arena as I and they LOVE to copy my info.. (flattered but p.o'ed too)
I was able to stop it ( for most part with ) with the below leading HTML but some other sellers still figure out how to get around parts of it.
Beow is the leader/header ( or whatever) html I've been currently/ are using for several years per not being able to C&P.
What changes must ( for future auctions afer the active content deall goes into effect in Junr 2017?)
Should be made ...
can they be made to work effectively?
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
var message="";
///////////////////////////////////
function clickIE() {if (document.all) {(message);return false;}}
function clickNS(e) {if
(document.layers||(document.getElementById&&!document.all)) {
if (e.which==2||e.which==3) {(message);return false;}}}
if (document.layers)
{document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);document.onmousedown=clickNS;}
else{document.onmouseup=clickNS;document.oncontextmenu=clickIE;}
document.oncontextmenu=new Function("return false")
// -->
</script>

When eBay blocks active content, there will be no alternative method to prevent others from copying your content.

oh gosh, was afraid of that . Will we be able to use different colored fonts at all ?
Am not sure I'm totally understanding the css replacement mess,etc.

Thanks shipscript, is there going to be any way to use colored fonts at all ?
I need to have some bold RED and other colors in some of my listings if at all possible .
need to be able to center, etc. to grab attention also.

A simple html program can be found in the freeware program kompoZer.
It is a simple wysiwyg (what you see is what you get) program where you can change fonts, size, color, bullets etc. You have to copy/paste the HTML VIEW into the ebay description box. Don't know if it has the exact feature you want, but may be worth considering.

First, thank you for explaining what "wysiwyg" means.
I will check out the kompoZer deal, clueless about that one .
I really must be able to accentuate parts of my listings for many reasons so perhaps that will help. ( lot of buyers simply don't read but the colored fonts will draw attention to details at times for sure. )
