Removing http links

[chameleon54]

Just recieved a warning from ebay that 110 of my listings on one ID only, have http links which is a violation. The other two stores are unaffected, even though I use exactly the same listing techniques on those  id's. I dont use a hosting service for my photos. I suspect the problem is the ebay generated " powered by selling manager pro" icon at the bottom of the listing. I didnt put it there, ebay did.

Is it likely that that is the problem ? and if so is there a way to edit it out in bulk or do I have to do each listing individually ?

You can use this site to check:

http://www.isdntek.com/ebaytools/ActiveContentEditor.htm

It finds the http links and changes them to https.

I just changed all my image links to https with it. Took about 1/2 hour with file exchange.

same prob, seems there's no bulk way to edit so just have to manually edit each listing and click on ebays help me fix it.

Some times even though your page seems clean and with no icons/gifs/links you may still have a partial website link code in your html. So delete all html links complete from websites.

Gotta make room for the big retailers to place their adds and links on our pages so we must get rid of ours!

Yup,

Ive got nothing better to do with my time than sit down and manualy remove each link manualy in over 300 listings

If you go to your listing and use the MOBILE FRIENDLY CHECKER on the right of the description field

I can't find the option anywhere in the listing, I remember it being there some time ago when ebay first announced the changes.

Are you on the page to revise the listing?  It's just above the right side of the description box about halfway down the page.

it will say the following - and if you tick FIX IT FOR ME and SAVE - it should clean it up for you

I've tried this and where there was a red "X" on the links section after you click Fix It then the X turns to a green tick.

But the HTTP does not change to HTTPS.

So maybe these don't need to be changed to HTTPS.

Now that I have found the thing and used it I saw exactly the same thing. My borders, photos etc which are all stored on line on my template builder's site are still there yet it says they are compliant.

I have been dutifully working through my listings for a few weeks, one by one I went from 570-odd listings down to 10.

I noticed the notification on My Selling page was popping up for any listings with non-secure content after they ticked over, so I did them in batches, and a couple of days ago, I loaded up the last 10 and fixed them too.

Except, according to my selling page, they still need fixing, and I got this stupid email warning as well. 

I have even gone in and removed absolutely every last little bit of content in the description, submitted the changes so for a little while one of my items was a completely blank page, and ebay still said it required removal of HTTP content.

If they remove / end any of my listings becuase of this sh**te, there's going to be a lot of uncensored cursing coming their way.

It's funny because I have 1000 odd that don't comply, and haven't received a warning. I don't think they will actually end non-compliant listings until March, though (I could be making it up, but I'm sure it said March was the deadline in the latest seller release . . .)

I'm really quite annoyed that eBay hasn't given us an easy way to fix this. I don't know about the rest of you, but 1.5 months out from Christmas, I'd rather be spending my time on new listings, than having to do this. Zzzz.
