		<description><![CDATA[I posted a couple of cat ACEO&#8217;s (original Art Cards) on Ebay yesterday. I decided to try the Aussie ebay site for a change, I usually list ACEO&#8217;s on the US ebay site as ACEO&#8217;s are much more well known there (A search on Ebay.com.au for the term ACEO reveals all of 92 items today [...]]]></description>
