k...with the help of Ebay Live Chat we figured it out. Since this was my FIRST listing I needed to verify my identity with a phone call. Something new they are doing now. Wow...lots of hoops to jump through these days. *rolling eyes*.
Now I need to go back and fix the auction cause I posted through Ebay instead of Auctiva and couldn't affix my template in order to save time.
Thanks again for your time peeps. Much obliged, much obliged!
