It allowed me to save it "as is" and I found with the next listing that didn't happen. I guess it was "stuck" on a previous error and wouldn't work even if correct. The problem, I found, is that you can't specify the kind of shipping w/o a $ amount & that doesn't work when the zip dictates the final shipping cost. So I just put the appx range in the description and left the shipping as a flat rate w/ no specification. I will go back to the evil listing and see if it will behave now.
Thanks for your help, Kevin.
