Thanks for the test page link Gothinica.
Re the forum message, I think the guy is just making it up, this is what he says:
(He quotes this piece of code):
"<html>
<head>
<title>The Great '58</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<meta name="description" content="Your Website Description" />
<meta name="keywords" content="keywords, go, here" />
<link href="http://www.allseasons.vabb.com/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.style1 {
color: #000000;
font-weight: bold;
}
.style2 {color: #000000}
-->
</style>
</head>
<body>"
"All of the above is in violation of ebay policies and the listing could be cancelled by ebay because it constitutes site interference."
This isn't true. I looked at the two links he gave for Javascript and HTML that isn't allowed, and it doesn't mention most of the code above! (Unless I missed it). It isn't 'site interference' if your code is merely making your auction look better, and not affecting any other part of the Ebay page. In the past I accidentally made some CSS which made the entire background of the auction page a different colour, and I've seen auctions with background images inserted throughout the entire page, but I doubt that that is what Ebay mean by site interference, judging by their FAQs on them.
I did the auction test page, and it said:
"These tags are not recommended within an auction template:
<!DOCTYPE
<html>
<head>
<title>
<meta ...>
<link ...>
</head>
</title>
<body ...>
</body>
</html>"
I'll carry on with my CSS as it is, as it's worked fine for years. It would be interesting to see what Ebid say about this - at least we can get a human response over here!
