Cell Padding ?? Or what ever you call it - Problem

What you see is caused by formatting code the seller places in the description field. If the formatting tools provided in the ad creation tool are used, instead of the ad being formatted outside of the ad creation tool, these problems will not occur.

In this particular ad a friend of mine placed, he cant see the issue him self when he views the ad as the seller tools box seems to have an effect on the left side spacing, also he does not use formatting code but does have a template set up in his market settings.
I was curious as it becomes hard to see when the Sellers want added % for PPal or additional instructions are blurred out.
Thanks John.......... Dan

What web browser are you using? I'm running IE7, and I do not see it, but I have seen the same issue when running IE 6, and some versions of Firefox. All of these browsers handle formatting slightly different than one another.
I have edited the ad to remove the extra formatting code (it is there). See if you still can see the merged text.
On a side note; your friend may want to consider how they have their ad priced. Paypal does not permit sellers to charge fees to buyers when using their service. RCUniverse is not affiliated with Paypal, and is not here to enforce their rules, but if someone were to file a complaint with Paypal, they may suspend his account.

John you are a great help, I am using Vista Home Premium / FireFox 3.0.5 but I switched to IE 7 the problem is gone...
I see the other (side note) posted on many ads listed that accept PPal, personally it would be worth loosing 3-5% to have the money instantly in stead of waiting a week for a MO or Chk then cashing it... But thats the way I think.
Thanks for helping me see better" Dan

I do not disagree that Paypal is a great convenience service. Instead of looking at their fees as a loss, many sellers simply include their fees into the Asking Price.
Note to self, Firefox still has formatting issues
