"SEE FULL ITEM DESCRIPTION" - Caused by Turbolister in my case

I've used Turbolister since forever - great tool.  Just this week found my items on auction have the dreaded "SEE FULL ITEM DESCRIPTION" link.  After investigation found that Ebay's system adds a gif at the end saying "Powered by Tubrolister" for all items uploaded using TL (gif below).   The link to the gif is NOT https.  The Ebay system then flags that as an error in my listing, one that EBAY ADDED, and blocks the description from being shown.  I cannot prevent them from adding this link/gif.

Ebay created this error.  After speaking with four different people in the Phillipines I finally resigned myself to the fact that this cannot be changed on active listings with bids.  Those with no bids can be edited to remove the link to the gif that Ebay added.

There is no way to disable the adding of this gif.  If I continue to sell on Ebay (big if, after 17 years) I would have to go into each item and manually edit each listing if I want my description to show.  

Pure stupidity, and a refusal by Ebay support to even acknowledge that they created this bug, much less fix it.

"SEE FULL ITEM DESCRIPTION" - Caused by Turbolister in my case

During one of the TL updates not too long ago (right around the time of the Active Content thing if I remember correctly), the gif was removed. 

 

I haven't had the "powered by..." show up in quite some time.

 

I had to manually go in an remove that from all of my listings created prior to the update.

"SEE FULL ITEM DESCRIPTION" - Caused by Turbolister in my case

It is not being added now......and hasn't been for sometime.   I had about 70 out of 400+ listings that it was not removed from, and which I had to remove.  All of those listings were created 2 yrs or more ago and I'm guess from that they could not removed the "older" html which was changed at some point.  One thing:  I never sych TL...all the listings were on Ebay in Active/unsold.  I activated all to get all cleaned up.
