eBay Question - What am I missing here???

Please forgive if this is posted in the wrong place.
I didn't really see anywhere else to post this question.

I'm proficient in HTML coding, and I'm trying to sell something on eBay.
So, I figured I would make a nice looking setup that looks professional using some HTML.

Problem is, I can't see how to post HTML coding in my eBay ad!
I contacted their support, and the guy emailed me with the standard "click the HTML radio button, and if that doesn't work, clear your cache and cookies and start all over"

Well, I tried that and still can't get their system to accept my HTML in the ad I'm trying to post.
I've done it before, so I know it can be done not to mention there are tons of ads on eBay using HTML.

Here's the HTML radio button I've been clicking:

But, everytime it keeps saying I didn't put anything in the description section.
If I put in plain text, it accepts it with no problem.

I know I've got to be missing somthing simple here.
Any ideas you fellas could bounce off of me would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Just download eBay Turbo Lister -- it's free and offers both WYSIWYG and HTML abilities.

I may not have any other choice...I just hate to use additional programs when I can do my own hand coding.

I don't want to ba a smart-aleck since I don't know much about computers at all. But if I had some knowledge in a field & was stuck I would use another source of info to help me. You don't have to keep the program & it is free. Just check it out & delete if it doesn't help.

Try using a different browser (such as Firefox, or IE, if you're already using Firefox)
