What is Active Content ?

WLM21

I have just received a message from Ebay, telling me that about 10% of my listings contain Active Content, which will be banned in June 2017

What is Active Content ?

For all my listings the only thing I do to change the listing is to change the font size and type.

Active content is a type of interactive or dynamic website content that includes programs like Internet polls, JavaScript applications, stock tickers, animated images, ActiveX applications, action items, streaming video and audio, weather maps, embedded objects, and much more.

Do you list directly through eBay? or through a third party e.g. Auctiva?
If you list through eBay do you add any of the things mentioned above to your listings?

eBay are doing to this to help sellers as Active content doesn't work very well with mobile versions of the website. You could ask eBay for an example list of those listings affected or use an active content checker.

Your listing won't get removed in June they will just have the active content disabled so the code will show on the listings when they are viewed.
