Subject: RE: BS: Help computer question! Convert UPPER 2 lower
Skipy, I think you need to go back to the core problem.

Why are you typing all of your eBay entries in all caps? I can tell you that it is annoying as hell to read and much harder to distinguish than lower case. Look at the studies that show how people recognize words by the shape, the number of extensions above and below a median line. Even when they are misspelled. All caps looks like you're shouting, and it frankly looks like you don't know any better. You're better off typing everything lower case if you want to type in just one format.

Really. Stop using all caps at eBay and this problem will go away.

If you have typed in all caps and forget to change it, why aren't you looking at the screen as you type your response and noticing the problem right away? Do you type hunt and peck by looking at the keyboard instead of as a touch typist, looking at the screen instead? Maybe you should consider trying to adjust your keyboard skills.
