You mentioned "Jane Austen" in the heading, so it was probably flagged automatically by their system even though she's been dead nearly 200 years. :-) It may also be that their policy prohibits the use of movie titles in item captions also. > http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/keyword-spam.html Might help explain too. -- Cathy Raymond <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Physics is like sex; sure, it may give some practical results, but that's not why we do it."--Richard Feynman _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
