active content

I received this message, "We found elements of active content in at least 3 of your listings. To improve buyer experience, active content such as JavaScript, Form Actions etc will not be rendered going forward. As a result, listings with active content might not display correctly to buyers."

I reviewed my listings, is Auctiva's Free Scrolling Gallery something that needs adjusted or removed?

I scanned your listings here and see that you do have 3 items with Active Content:

Reviewing the EXAMINE button on each, I see that all three contain remnants of old Auctiva scripts. Their new scrolling gallery is not the problem in those listings. The problem lies in those older script remnants.

Additionally, one of those listings contains MS Word setup codes that will be flagged by ebay's filter.  That code came from a copy/paste from a Word document.

In all three cases, if you will revise those three listings on eBay, their new listing tool has a "Description Checker" right above the description editor that will alert when Active Content is found. You can use that tool to remove the Active Content.

If you need assistance, feel free to post on the Active Content forum:
