removing active content and contact details from listings

This morning on this ID I removed active content from 68 listings and had another 30 listings flagged that ebay says has my my contact details.

 

After removing the actgive content it appears ebay is now telling me I now have 47 listings on this ID with my "contact details" (even though I only removed HTTP from my listings and certainly did not add anything. 

 

Anybody else getting the crazy messages?

 

Can somebody please check out this listing 380923399918 and enlighten my how I have violated ebay policy... before I disappear up my own nether regions searching for my faux pas

 

Removing contact information

From September 2017 you won’t be able to include contact information, i.e. phone numbers, email addresses or social media profiles, in item descriptions, images, eBay Stores or seller profiles.

I had a look at your item ( very interesting!) and I can't see a problem at all.

Maybe someone else can pick up a problem but honestlt IMHO it looks fine.

The only thing that Ebay might have got confused about - as I assume they pick u  these contact details electronically  - is the date of the paper December 13 1946.  This may have been interpreted as a phone number!!

I'm with you. Ijust talked to ebay support and they confirmed the listing did not violate any policy.... and they told not to worry about it......

 

.....unless the listing is removed and I am defected....

 

I bet 54 cents that at the end of the month they remove the non offending listings anyways.

 

After a read around I see I am not Robinson Crusoe...

Seems fine to me as well but you still have the counter at the bottom left,(it was also stated that it's active content

 

and will probably have to be removed).

Yep got one of these messages as well, only thing i could think of is we mentioned our website name is some listings (but no link) if they still violate the policy i am buggered if i know why. Would be more helpful if Ebay could point out exaclty the problem, we do have HTML embeded in our listings, photobucket and Imigur could that be a problem ?

View, there's no way to remove the counter.     It has to be done by ebay itself.

 

I can't see anything wrong with the listing.

by chance, could it be something in this part of the listing?

If everything else is fine then maybe, just maybe, it might be something in this part of your listing.  With eBay nowadays anything is possible !
