HTML in item description haven't pass

[dmitri-vlasov]

Hello,

I've tried to use HTML in Description as stated here:

https://github.com/timotheus/ebaysdk-python/issues/110

But none of my attempts were successful. Even the example text of

"Description": "<![CDATA[Since this is a CDATA section I can use all sorts of reserved characters like \" and & or write things like <foo></bar>but my document is still well formed! ]]>",

and the simplest things like:

<div>Some info</div>

generated an error:

2016-02-16 16:51:58,465 ebaysdk [ERROR]:AddFixedPriceItem: Class: RequestError, Severity: Error, Code: 5, XML Parse error. XML Error Text: "; nested exception is: 
    org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: XML document structures must start and end within the same entity."

That's my test info:

<Item><AutoPay>true</AutoPay><CategoryMappingAllowed>true</CategoryMappingAllo

Just found out that the html need to pass with XML escape sequence.. example <b> Item Description </b> ==> "&lt;b&gt; Item Description &lt;/b&gt;"
