Just had my listing removed from ebay because my description had the words "as new" in it! Apparently its against their keyword spamming policy?!?!

SWIMBO had 4 things taken off last week for the same reason, silly when you can put it in description, is anyone gonna think something "as new" is new ?

OK, maybe they will.

Meanwhile, nothing seems to happen when it turns out the camcorder I bought "unused, new in box" meant "unused, new, in an old box I found in my shed"...

Good thing it wasn't for a present but if I ever wanted to sell it, the value would be less as it's not in its original box....

Rapidly going off Ebay.........

Too many dishonest people.. There was someone in the UAE selling PD-170 camcorders. They had a feedback of about 20 (so paypal was only guaranteed up to £150). Sold 5 PD-170s (sequential nights) for between 600 and 700 before de-registering.... Luckily I didn't win any of those auctions!!!

A few weeks ago I had another listing removed. It was windows vista, the 64bit edition. Despite it being a genuine copy as stated in the description it was taken off because of their anti piracy policy!
