I just recieved an email alerting me to one of my lsiting being in violation of ebay policies for:
"contain(s) contact information such as a phone number, email address or weblinks, which is in violation of listing policies. Non-compliant listings will soon be blocked."
The listng number is 133376175406. As you can see there are no phone number etc in it - so I'm confused as to why I have recieved the message? Is this a glitch? How do I fix this? And has anyone else had this happen lately?

Ah okay - I'll revise the listing to take that title out and hopefully that will fix it.
Thanks!

eBay keep sending me a message identical to this, regarding an item which has absolutely nothing in it which could possibly fit the description given. I even talked to a rep, back when we could still talk, and she agreed it must be a mistake and that they'd fix it.
They didn't, and now apparently I have another transgressing item (I have no idea which one; this came up when I was trying to bulk edit 200 items, without the offending items being identified).
I'll probably try and have a 'chat' about it, but this has been going on for nearly two months with no actual repurcussions so far.

I wonder if it might be a combination of things - highly likely it's an error that has no rhyme or reason to it, but with eBay I also wouldn't be surprised if they have "instructed" the bots to look for variations on spelling of certain keywords, as well as combinations of other types of keywords, resulting in all sorts of fun and games.
In other words -
eBay Bot: "Idriess? Is that a misspelling of address to try and sneak under my radar? Let me look for any other incriminating words to make sure....

I have a fix for this message!
Got this from an eBay rep and have kept it safe ever since. Same as you, couldn't work out what was wrong with the listing, so she gave me this..................
NB You need to have more than one problem listing,as if only one problem listing this will only open with the individual listing and i couldn't work out how to fix so i usually left until a few were flagged and did them all together.
If the message reads about "contact" and listing removed.....
Do This
Select the problem items in tick box, then edit, select edit selected.
Edit Fields
Item description
Select Action drop down box - Find and Replace
In Find Section Box type in href
Then in Replace With box type in src
Save and Close
I have had these messages for ages and now all cleared.
I also have a fix for problem listings with http content if anyone needs.
