email address

[PlanningSanity]

Not sure if this is endemic of Ebid or not, starting to put my listings on but the email address that I place in the listings gets zapped, well that is all but the '.uk' end of the address and not the <a mail: part. Thus my listing of <a href="mailto:sales@sew-n-print.co.uk">sales@sew-n-print.co.uk</a> gets turned into <a href="mailto: .uk"> .uk</a>, it stays in my default listing correct only changing when I list, going back to update the listing also does not work. I really need to include the email address as I sell personalised item's it is important that customers are able to send pictures and names/messages to be added to the items. Even tried it without the code yet still it gets zapped. Anyone any ideas, or as I say is this a general problem of Ebid not allowing email addresses in the listings. Interestingly it has not removed my link to our picture gallery, just the email address.

I think EBID wants it that way!. I wish they didn't. How can someone 'buy it now' when they don't know where to send the payment!

I've been getting around this problem by including banners in my auction html which have my email addys on.

a long running dispute here and one of the reasons I finally pulled all my auctions.

Some people seem to be able to include email links with no trouble, others get removed, I've yet to work out why tho. Will keep an eye on how things pan out and maybe put some items back up at a future date.
