Not able to list Item. Get Shortened URL error. Ebay help is NO HELP!

Listing a lot of VHS movies. I listed a lot before this one with no problem. Here is the error:

It looks like there's a problem with this listing.

    We’ve noticed that your listing included a shortened URL. eBay no longer permits shortened URLs (e.g. bitly or tinyurl) in item descriptions, payment instructions, return instructions, etc, regardless of where they link to. Please remove any shortened URL's from your listing.

    To learn what else is no longer permitted in our updated Links policy, including email addresses, links to email clients and non-clickable links, please see: http://pages.ebay.com/sellerinformation/news/links2011.html

 I called ebay. First person I spoke with could find no url. Transfered to a specialist. He could find no url as well. Told me it would be escalated to someone else and they would get back with me. Not able to list lot of VHS tapes. I've tried deleting description. Typing it out on notepad first. Nothing works.

I listed another item after I got the error message and it listed fine with no problems. When I try and list the lot again, same error message. I've tried logging out and then back in. Going to complete draft. Nothing works.
