    Default Another edit by the site.....

    I wanted to call pre-decimal stamps "£sd" in a shop category heading which is much less clumsy and uses fewer characters

    Not only does the site remove the £ but it does so without warning me!

    That is not only annoying but bad manners!

    The words which sprang to mind as I read this were less than ladylike so I will not type them

    You have completely failed to understand what I meant when I commented on whining - my point was that any specialist advertising would result in whining from those who sell in other areas.

    However, I so admire your capacity to waste time on a site you so plainly regard as useless..

    Welcome to my ignore list!

    I agree with Madelaine, £ signs shouldn't be removed we should be able to list items within stores or listings that show the £ sign

    I am selling some coins on eBid and the £ sign has not been removed. There are other items also on the site using the £ which appear unaffected.

    Is this a glitch rather than automatic editing? Just a thought.

    Funny that because I have $$$ & £££ & €€! and I expect to use them all.

    It may be a glitch but it's an annoying one.

    I just did a test auction with the description title as "£1 test auction", when I do preview auction now it shows as "1 test auction", the £ sign should show both in Auction Description when put in as well as in a shop category
