Error 10060 — Add To Item Description failed

What this means

Failed to add to item description: Auction item has bid and is ending in 12 hours, or fixed price item has been sold one or more.

Why this happens

eBay places limits on description length, HTML usage (active content blocked since 2017), and external resource loading. Descriptions that include JavaScript, embedded forms, or links to non-eBay payment systems fail validation.

How to fix it

  1. Strip JavaScript, iframes, and active content from the HTML description — eBay blocks these for security.
  2. Inline images via the eBay Picture Hosting service or use https-hosted images. Mixed-content (http) images fail.
  3. Remove links to off-eBay checkouts or payment systems — eBay requires payments stay on platform.
  4. Use eBay's recommended description templates from Seller Hub if you're unsure.
