Links in Easypopulate not working

[ScaleCreep]

I'm trying to add links to some product descritpions using standard HTML:

 

Available from <a href="http://www.scalecreep.com">Scale Creep</a> but when I uplaod this through EP it acts as if this is an internal link and adds my own URL and path to it so I get the link as:

 

http://www.miniaturesdirectory.com/catalog...creep.com"

 

Anyone know why it does this?

 

If I edit the item through the admin page the link works just fine.
