Thanks for such a quick reply. I figured it out. I give away a free copy of an ebook I wrote to all who visit my auction so I put free gift in the title. Evidently Ebay does not allow the word free and it triggered the validation-edit error message. I took that out and it posted perfectly. Maybe that tidbit of info that I didn't think of will help somebody else. Thank you Doug for posting so quickly to my plea for help.
