Dear Paul and List,

Due to the character limitation in what eBay allows in the subject line of
any given auction, I think the code would not work in most cases. In looking
at the approximately 250 eBay auctions I currently have running which I
loaded yesterday and today, I see too many cases where I personally could
not add the code. I think it is a good idea however.

Maybe the code could be put in the "description" instead of the "subject"
line, that way there is plenty of room in all auctions.

Best regards,
Greg
