I don't know what is wrong with my listing. Perhaps someone sees something I don't.
The listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/383394827267?ul_noapp=true
This is the message from Ebay:

@thebargainprincess, the problem is that there is a [hidden] link in your description. It probably happened when you copied-and-pasted some of the description from another website.
A long-time, well-respected member of the eBay Community, @shipscript has written a tool to scan listings and identify active content (links) and several other non-compliant aspects. You can check it yourself, it will find the problems in your HTML code, and show you how to fix them.

STORY OF MY LIFE. ALWAYS A STEP BEHIND @lacemaker3! lol!
Yes, according to the Active Content Scanner tool, that listing has active content. It's the only one out of all your listings.
You can run the scan here:

All you have to do enter your member id and select "US" in the field below that.

OMG!! I didn't copy my description from another site but I must have copied that pink text (Vera Bradley foundation for Breast Cancer) from somewhere.
Thank you so much!
It's been revised. Feel free to let me know if you're still seeing the hidden link.
