Re: Removing http links

chameleon54 · ‎08-11-2017

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 ?

" I didnt put it there, ebay did. "

I have exactly the same issue , The only way I can see to do it is each one at a time.

Its also interesting to note that some of my listing have been removed from my store and search results completely.

Others have not (yet) .

Just another waste of time. Ebay forces change upon us with new programs and we have to fix the glitches ourselves or be punished.

I too have woken this morning to the same email. I have apparently 311 listings that require immediate attention .

322043810496 is just one of them for example, but I am unsure as to what part of my listing is the part breaking the violation so would love for someone to have a look and let me know so I can make changes. I redid all my adds a few months back as the template I was using at the time had something to do with photobucket, but I'm stumped now as to what issue is and why it isn't affecting all my listings, only a certain amount are. Maybe ebay gave up counting & looking LOL. Sorry to jump in on your post OP, but thought best not to start new thread asking basically the same question. Hope thats ok if no I will remove.

Thanks

We haven't had the email yet but looks like we will get it I'd say.

All of our listings have cross-linking between our two ebay stores embedded into the decsription field.

Been there for years with no problems.

But I just checked and they are all the old http format.

I'm guessing I will need to manually edit all these to https format.

What a pain.

Is there some bulk editing way to do this.

Just need to add a single "s" to the string. But in hundreds of places.

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

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

No problems, everyones input welcome.

I tried to use the bulk editing tool by identifying the words " powered by selling manager pro " for removal, but it did not seem to work. I suspect that is because the picture is part of the logo. I just hope I dont get the same message on my main store or it could be hundreds of listings affected.

Not in my case, as I have done this as well as the other checks such as active content etc and it comes back saying everything is fine and listing is ready to go....I am thinking mine may be my headings and the FONT used to create them?

Good Morning

I too received this email yesterday so, whilst doing the mobile phone checking I noticed the only thing relating to HTTP was the link to Turbo Lister.

So I went hunting through the discussion boards for hints and hit upon davewil's answer (I think it was him) who said that removing the 'Powered by Turbolister' link and icon (at the bottom of the listing description) would fix it.

As it was a live link, it made sense to me and might explain why turbolister was Pluto'd earlier this year.

It is worth a try

Take Care

Do you think this "image" (not sure why it would come up as an image if it is text though, is the problem?
