eBay Listing Description iframe content
eBay will most assuredly change the listing description iframe content.
So the example below is a point-in-time snapshot. You should also example a listing yourself to see what the latest is.
Regardless of content, you shouldn't be affected by what eBay provides as long as your top level html tag is a <div>.
The code below looks like a lot, but you needed concern yourself with the gory details.
Just scroll down to line 168 and you'll see where your template will be inserted.
