eBay descriptions (pointless rant)

fishcake

This has probably been talked about before so sorry

Last was looking at bikes on ebay and was looking for a Trek hardtail and keep finding people advertise their bike by saying for example 'Muddy Fox (not kona, trek, or orange)'

Now I know why they are doing this - to get more people to look, but If I wanted a flipping Muddy Fox I would search for one

It just really winds me up and wish ebay would ban this

Rant over. sorry

Andy

Just report every one that you come across like it.

or put (-fox) in your search description?

No-one sane would describe a Trek as "Trek (not Muddy Fox)"

But then if someone lists "Trek With Fox" it wont show up ?

ebay do monitor this but clearly not every auction, I was selling some old fishing kit and tried listing it using that method and they pulled my auction off the site as I had "broken the rules"

It used to be banned. I know cos I'd tried using it (everyone else was so I thought you could)

And they took my listings down - the buggers.

it's very annoting. it just takes longer to load and it takes up space

The problem there Joycie is that you are assuming there are sane people out there
