I think it is a NON USA problem.. it appears to be elsewhere.
CMEJewellery For all your jewellery needs.
Beads 'n' Bobs For beads.
Charms 'n' Findings For charms and jewellery making supplies.
Specifically, it's about using special characters the "quick and dirty" way, rather than by using the proper html code. That's not a criticism, you shouldn't have to worry about the sort of "fix" that happened, it's just a clarification. So £ would be a problem where £ wasn't.
Once the added 'codes' were removed I have only lost the symbol ? - not a real problem but some of my descriptions may read a bit funny as a lot of book blurbs use the question mark, not easy to spot... but no real damage as everything else is still there.

all feedback from eBid
Well…as anybody can see eBid is not ready for seller’s who comes in here with thousand listing and try to upload all this stuff in short time…maybe not for all but I think many seller’s with quick upload will have always problem…for me I don’t have any problem and reason for that is very simple I list one for one every time…but some seller’s list like me I mean not list every day (I ‘’only’’ list every each day on whole eBid) and same seller’s still have similar problem but not that many likes seller’s who transfer items in quick way…but like I say already seller’s who have thousand listing with pictures and description ready and is no way to list all this stuff one for one is going to took a years before list all…and for that reason eBid must be ready with software of any kind to help like this seller’s for quick upload…I have more around 40,000 items to list but I am in not hurry mood because I work my job and earn more of enough money and top of that I believe no other auction site will have traffic like eBay without bigger advertising, so until eBid ‘’decide for that’’ I will probably list all rest of my items…but many seller’s depend for extra money from online sales so for that reason eBid can help quicker same seller’s with better software…
I have had the same problem which I mention in another thread titled "Missing Auction Descriptions"
After two recent updates to Ninja Lister, my listings with speech marks in seem to upload properly now, but I have had to end over 1000 listings as most of the main descriptive text is missing.
It looks like these will not be able to be reinstated so it seems I am going to have to upload them all again.
With all the other people having the same problem, probably since a recent update you would have thought Ebid would have put a message up to tell sellers to check their listings
The only way I found out about this was when I sold an item and noticed most of the description was missing, luckily my customer was happy with their purchase

I haven't been through my listings yet to check, but i'm not looking forward to going through 500 + listings.

Where do I find a thread explaining this problem? What happened? What were they trying to do? I appear to have missed it and if anyone is likely to have "special characters" in their listings it would be me - as I use accented French words all the time...
I have the dreaded question marks instead of accented letters appearing in any emails eBid sends me (which has meant they have been sorting themselves into all the wrong folders on my computer). This has been reported and I have been told "they are working on it" - eleven days and counting....
