"You said when you duplicated the Inventory Items that the HTML was showing ??? Did I misunderstand?"
Yes. I must not be explaining it clearly I guess.
There is no html code in the description field of the items I am duplicating. When the ERROR/BUG occurs, it converts the text (of the old inventory item) into html gobbldygook.
AW2000 converts what ever you type in the description field into html for your listing in eBay. I assume when I get garrbage this is what AW is spitting back out to me.
As I said it does one of thwo things. It either completely replaces what I typed with the description I field contents of the item I copied the new inventory item from. Or...
It replaces what I typed with an html version of the description field of the item I copied the new invertory item from.
The old item did not have html. AW is giving that to me all on its own.
