I don't understand a new message on my selling page

Your content is insecure.

I have no idea what this message on my selling page means.  "In order to switch to the rich text editor, you need to fix the insecure content in your description."  What is "Rich Text Editor" & what is "Insecure Content" of my description.  Thanks in advance for any help.

This item 125575229013, at the bottom of your description it has that small Ebay Turbo Lister button, which is not on a secure server.

If that's in your new listing, that might be the problem.

Have a great day.

@kensgiftshop  @sheilashelf  Oh, I didn't look.  Yes, that is definitely NOT ok & likely the problem.  I've run into it myself & always found it hilarious since TL is an eBay product, though inactive for a few years now.   If she strips that out, she'll likely be fine.

Re: I don't understand a new message on my selling page

Yep - this is the culprit right here.  The turbo-lister ad itself redirects to eBay, but the old link is non-secure.

Re: I don't understand a new message on my selling page

Hello - I have had the same thing coming up and I think it means we can no longer use the bigger size type printing like we used before. Still playing with it but once I changed them to smaller fonts, it goes away. Years ago when I set mine up, I used bigger fonts and other colors. I think they are doing away with that.

This is a link to an Active Content Scanner. Use it @sheilashelf and @thelongball to see how many of your listings need to be fixed and what the exact issue is.

Sheila you have 60 listings in need of revision.
Long Ball you have 96 listings in need of revision.

When doing new listings I have been using large font that I copy & paste from my other listings. To date (knock on wood) I have had no rejections for doing so. YMMV

There were 2 issues that popped up on the active content scanner for long ball's listings. One: they need to add the target="_blank" code to their links and two: they need to change http to https

You are correct it has nothing to do with large size font.

Re: I don't understand a new message on my selling page

You are great. Thank you.  You were 100% correct.  The little Turbo Lister button was the problem.
