fooking egay !!!!!!

Yes that fooking 'do as we please' outfit egay have seriously pissed me off. I had a tomtom 300 go for sale via buy it now and also best offer. I had some offers that i would have seriously considered or bartered with and found an email midnight last night saying my advert has been removed and i would have to pay to relist it if i wanted to once i had complied with 'egay policy'.

So what rule did i break, illegal software????? or something else....

The item was removed as i had failed to comply with their spamming rule...... WTF!!!! Basically my advert was listed with with the following heading: 'As New Tomtom 300 Go'

They stated that my item was labelled with the spam words 'AS NEW' and this was against their policy ffs.......so i can't call it AS NEW as that falls into SPAM!!!!


un fooking believable shite bags they need to get a fooking life the robbing tw@ts.

Whine over !!!!!!!!

they are turn that auction sight into a fecking joker m8 :(

It's pathetic mate, along with paypal, these cunts are slitting their own throats financially and it wouldn't suprise me if they may be in line for going bust next year.

we can but hope :D

Is there a list of words you can't use/spam words?

Thats the link they sent me too lol

Like New/As New
Items that are used should not be described as ‘Like New’ or ‘As New’ in the listing title, even if they are in excellent condition. Using such terms can affect the search results for buyers looking specifically for new items, and is considered to be a breach of the Keyword Spamming policy.

If you want to make it clear in the listing title that your item is in excellent condition, we advise you to consider alternative wording, such as ‘mint condition’.

:( looks like they have you
You would think they would have a check on submission and just come back with invalid words/description but I guess they couldn't screw you for the additional fees if they did

oh yeah, trouble is they know, no fooker will read the milliom pages of rules they made up lol

Hey ho live and learn i suppose !

Hopefully a genuine rival to Ebay will arrive some day i hate ebay now

i used to love yahoo auctions until they disappeared. ebay can do pretty much what they like because there is no competition

Ebay are pathetic these days and an item removed for 'as new' is petty to say the least. As new / Mint condition - same thing really aint it..

As my boss says in the work - That's just pish!:dry:

Similar thing happened to me last week, they're a bunch of tossers m8
