like new key word spamming...

yes. they usually only pull the listings that are REPORTED.... they dont have time to go through all the listings..... they only do something when another ebayer brings it to their attention.... hmmmm.... maybe someone doesnt like ya very much, or feels threatened, and wants to report the competition???

Well,if I had the time,I'd report all 6000+ listings.Not really,there are enough trouble makers here...

They are idiots...they "cover" themselves in the "tutorial" where they assure us that while MANY get away with breaking the rules, that's not the point. Many also speed and never get caught, but is we get caught, it is because we are GUILTY and we have no roo to complain.


SO.....if they don't WANT us using "like new".....ummmm...simple programmatic change to prevent it!

good point jc.....
BUT......
live and learn eh?

Yeah....they actually CALLED me on the phone more than a year ago when they started enforcing this policy....they let me know that it was keyword spamming...I was like, hmmmm....logged into eBay to discover they had removed 4 of my listings...I spent the next couple of days going through more than 500 listings to ensure I did not have those horrid words in either the title or the description....I think the violation is limited to the title, but I was taking no chances.

lol jcarolek.....
they once pulled 25 soap auctions, because in my template i put "My soap is tested on one animal. ME!"
they said "animal testing isnt permitted. blah blah blah blah. selling used cosmetics isnt permitted. blahty blah"
WHAT???????

oh ya, and they pulled an auction the other day for using 4 instead of FOR.... i did it to save space. LOL

Maybe I'll print up a bunch of signs that say LIKE NEW,for auto dealers,etc,sell the signs....???
