html clickable links in item descriptions

I'm aware of the new requirements by ebay for inserting clickable links in item descriptions and have properly done so as instructed by the great article by Kathy Terrill & Kathy Keefe.  I am trying to provide a link within my item description to my ebay store.  The links are clickable and work great, however, when clicked on, an ebay message says "Oops, there is a problem but the problem is ours, not yours because ebay's server is down and will be solved soon."   This has been going on for at least 2 weeks and I still get the same message as of today 2/17/19.  I have tried with 7 or 8 times and with different item description pages to no avail.

If and when ebay corrects the server problem, how do I bulk list the link to all of my items using ebays' bulk lister?  I am aware of how to bulk list additions or corrections to standard listings, but html links seem to require a different method.  Would appreciate answers from knowledgeable members . Thanks very much.

Re: html clickable links in item descriptions

OK, I've got it.  I simply copied the html of the one working link that I had, used the HTML ebay bulk lister method vs the listers' standard method, replaced the last 3 words of my description and bingo, it worked great. Thank you guys soooo much for all your help and time. Really appreciate it.  Dan

Tagging her to come visit this topic and your issues.

 

This member knows HTML and eBay use of it in descriptions better than eBay staff! She has made many great tools for eBay sellers. Perhaps she will drop by and look at your listing and your other listings to offer suggestions and improvements and explanations for your issue.


Great idea, @pocomocomputing

Re: html clickable links in item descriptions

As a follow up to my message stating that the problem is solved, I have just one correction to that message. You don't have to use the bulk listers' HTML method, just copy & paste the html link into the "copy & replace" of the bulk listers' STANDARD method. Again, thanks very much to all for your assistance.  Dan
