...weird!

Too bad, the chassis looked in pretty good order. I need to hurry and clean out my parent' garage so I can get started myself!

That's the one, although it doubled in price since I first posted it

It'll get pulled again for the same reason.
Someone should tell him to remove the 'not luego' from the title.

phad88 - 30/8/06 at 10:13 AM

is that what they call spamming? you really think it will get pulled?

Yes, 'fraid it probably will. They seem to have been cracking down recently.

"Key word spamming
Keyword spamming is the practice of including brand names or other "keywords" for the purpose of gaining attention or diverting users to a listing. Key word spamming is unfair to members who may be searching for a specific item and receive search engine results of listings that are not selling the item. It is also a manipulation of our search engine. Certain uses of brand names may also constitute trademark infringement and could expose sellers to legal liability."

Spoke to Ebay and you were right, cheers guys! I didn't fully understand the spamming stuff so i had to end item and relist it as once the item has been bidded on the title and description cannot be edited only notes can be added. Ebay themselves could not edit it so my only option was to end auction and relist with a more suitable title. What a pain this mornin has been

Just out of curiosity, what price are you looking/hoping for? Do you have a reserve on this item? (I've seen things being sold for absolutely rediculously low prices because people forgot to set a reserve...)
