my sponsorship page uses conditionals to serve up the appropriate payment button to the appropriate type but it kept spitting this back at me (when trying to renew a "property" type listing:
<?php "property" =="property"features) {?>
My conditionals were written correctly so I finally figured out it was because "property" was too close in name to "property_featured" so I changed the featured listing to "pfeatured" and it went through just fine.
If that's normal, great, but I couldn't find anything in the manual warning about item type naming issues.
You said your types are "regular, property,property_feature,vendor,vendor_featured". Unless you retyped that wrong here and have it right on your site, you're testing for a type which doesn't exist -- adding a d in your conditional which isn't in the name of the type you want.

I was trying to fish out an error and figured out finally what the problem was.
I had the following item types:
regular, property,property_feature,vendor,vendor_featured

My conditionals were written correctly
If that's a conditional, why am I seeing PHP? Is there some manner of posting which can make it show that way?
An underscore in an item type could cause problems, I'll either solve that or forbid them.

My conditionals were written in the template as
<IF {ITEMTYPE} is property_featured> show this paypal stuff</IF>The above php was in the header as an error as a result of the itemtype containing an underscore.developer

I've since changed my item types because of the underscore issue. It's working now. Sorry for not mentioning that.

Looks like there's a general problem with conditionals that comes up here, which is too complex for a quick fix. You can use PHP instead for now:
<?php if ("{ITEMTYPE}" == "property_featured") { ?> show this paypal stuff<?php } ?>
