question

I really need to know this as well :-(. Any new information on this subject?

Hi gfxpixeldesigns, We are very sorry for taking so long. Can you provide some sample ItemIDs that were listed as such? Best Regards,

Hi, This looks more like a shop design tool. I don't think the tool is dynamically changing the category of the eBay Item itself. Cheers!!!

Hello there are thousands ebay shop with java scripts included and all they are using that method to pass js code to ebay, Mostly for galleries and dynamic categories, so is it allowed or not? some ebay shop names: VIPARO-Clothing Debenhams MAXIMUM-COMPUTERS

Hi, eBay does not permit the use of several types of HTML and JavaScript functions in eBay listings, eBay Store pages, or your profile. REF: HTML and JavaScript policy

Attempting to list an item with any of listed JavaScript functions will result in an error returned by the AddItem call: Java script not allowed. Please refer to the KB article titled JavaScript best practices.

Best Regards,

OK, thanks! so are you trying to say that if my eBay store custom code will pass (there will be no information about java script not allowed) this will be OK with eBay java script policy?

What is important too (as at least one german design agency frequented this posting) is that the policy does differ a bit in its formulation between ebay.com and ebay.de. While the US-Policy does directly forbid only special parts of code, ebay.de formulates a "generally forbidden" statement and lists some special code infringements which seem to be an even worse breach of the ebay rules. If you contact the german telephone support, every one there will say: "no java script!". Never does anyone say "no script that does this or that but you can use those.." But as everyone can see, ebay is full of js, especially when the seller is a well-known brand. Also, there is a difference in code handling in various parts of ebay, e.g. between the generation of an offer and the relativley new mass editing tool. A part of script which passes the "test" while placing the offer can perhabs not pass the assumed same test in the mass editing tool. If you have e.g. a problem with mass editing your listings with ebays new tool caused by an event handler you used for a picture gallery, ebay support will prompt you to remove that handler. even though you could generate your listing without problems earlier.. and that gallery / event handler does not contradict the quoted js-rules. So, overall: - ~if you'll ask german ebay support, they'll say "no script, eeek!" - ~if you'll read the policy on the german side, you can at least not be sure what is allowed and interpret it in diverse ways - ~if you'll ask some professionall design agencys they will state that they can use their scripts as part of their "certified ebay designer" or whatever status - ~if you'll read the us policy, it's quite clear what is allowed and what isn't - ~and last, but not least.. you can prefer to see it the "if my listing gets listed with all that code i used it is valid" way, but i am quite sure that if you have problems later you will not get very far with that..

any official statement? As it is not clear yet...
