Linda: Sorry I couldn't help. It seems as if you are correct in that eBay did decide which form you are going to use. Just based on the problem you are having now with relisting I would strongly suggest that you download and use the BETA version of AW2K. You will never want to go back. The speed in uploading and downloading is unbelievable. Also because you will be using eBay's api - if you can relist on their page then you will be able to relist using AW2K - in that it is the same process being used.
So really you should convert to the BETA. It is an easy process, Thom has a great short explaination of what to do to make the conversion painless. And once it is over you'll ask why you didn't do it earlier.
Your definition of insanity - hmm - it includes me that's for sure. I can truly identify with it.
