    Not sure what happenned, but looking at ebay, the auctions look like the picture I'm posting, but doesn't look like that on other's computers. What went so terribly wrong here? I can't see the auction description - It's like the font is in characters.

    Look up top in your browser, and click:

    View>Encoding> Auto Select or Western European

    Unicode may also work.

    HTH.

    Yah, mine looks exactly the same. The strange thing is that so far, this is only happening on ebay.

    it is either that.. or this particular computer does not have a font that is specified on that page. it is a big usability problem when uncommon fonts are used on web pages.

    It's a message from Enzo:


    Jerry, please do not buy a Hummer. Leave the big baller work in So Cal to your pal Jeffrey.

    Go out and get a yellow Ferrari next.

    Enzo, out!

    Is it every ebay listing your having trouble with or just this one? If it's everyone, try deleting temp files and cookies & restart.

    It seems to just be the ebay auctions that use that car ad function.

    I have deleted all cookies and all web pages.

    Ok,

    Are you using IE 6.0.2800.

    Under view -> Source you can read the text if you want. Also, review this area and see if it's identical on the listing in your first post:
