Not sure if I told you this or not - Thom asked me to send him my logs etc from the Backup. I did. He got back to me and told me that the templates had carrige returns and line breaks in them and eBay using the API was stripping them out. So spent a day going through all the templates and took all that "stuff" out. Now the auctions post the way they were intended to. Part of the problem I had was as of the result of an occasional quick change in a template. Rather doing it the right way I'd go in and just type the html into the template and sheesh that caused problems too. When AW2K was posting using the eBay FORM it didn't matter but using the API it made an unholy mess out of the page. The best thing out of this is it afforded me an opportunity to tweek my pages and make a few changes that I have wanted to for a long while but just didn't feel I had the time to do so. Anyway, thanks to Thom and his fast reply, it's all done. And now all is well at the "Hundred-Acre-Woods" - the bee tree has settled down.
