[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2878382, member: 10461"]Thank you for posting this. Eh, phooey. I tried using that "mobile friendly checker", but the "analyzer" only runs up to 60%, and then the page stops. It shows a refresh symbol at the top of the page. But that does nothing. [ATTACH=full]689264[/ATTACH] I was ([I]am[/I]) concerned, because I listed a bunch of stuff at 65c starts with no reserve, and while it's cheap stuff - even junk in some cases - I'm gonna be doing a lot more "giveaways" than intended, with free shipping to boot! I've got 65c "starter" bids on a lot of stuff, but most auctions have no other movement five days in. For example, I listed a low grade Seated quarter more than 24 hours ago with a 65c start and free shipping - way below melt - and haven't gotten a single bid on it yet. It's a junky coin, but usually it would have at least two or three bids by now. What concerns me is that I'm doing some things I didn't realize were no-nos. I have HTML links in my descriptions (to Krause catalog data for the world coins), and furthermore I put my images into the descriptions in addition to using the eBay picture hosting.

So I've always put a redundant set of images into the descriptions of my own listings (the same pictures, but hosted on another site). I just picked up my phone and used the eBay app to find one of my auctions (making sure I was logged [I]off[/I] of my eBay account), and it looked OK, but now I'm nervous. Amusingly, [URL='http://www.ebay.com/itm/152734961131?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649']one item[/URL] has now surpassed the price I was asking for it here on CT, but that's an exception to the rule.
