Notice how "PCGS" is mentioned, but has noting to do with the auction.

    That's pushing it... I think if people are searching grading companies, they're not going to do a full-text search, rather just the title...

  • Spamming sucks but it is a form of marketing. Why not get the most viewers and a higher price.

    Isn't it only key word spamming if PCGS is used in the title?

    I think this is stretching it a bit. Personally, I don't care because I only search by title.

    If you think a seller is keyword spamming, report it to eBay. If they consider it keyword spamming, they will warn the seller once. After that, they will yank any future auctions.

    Key word spamming means putting a key word in the title for seraches to pick up that is not related to the auction

    I don't see any key word spamming here.

    dorkkarl, Did you just call me an idiot? image

    Everyone can collect and search for whatever pleases them. There are many different reasons why someone might search for PCGS.

    Apparently there's a lot of them, ( ie, us) out there, so many, in fact, that it is an eBay keyword, in other words, a starting point to find specifically just what series of PCGS graded coin(s) you are looking for.

    P.S. I have more raw coins than slabbed, my slabbed coins are from the top tier grading companies, so far this has worked to my advantage.

    i think you misunderstand the ebay statistic. it does NOT imply that someone goes on ebay searching for JUST "pcgs".

    i agree if you mean getting on ebay & searching, for example, "1877 pcgs" in the ihc category. but the nutty theory behind the initial post is that huge crowds of folks are jumping on ebay & searching JUST FOR "pcgs". you'd be daffy as taffy to be doing that.

    I, for one, wish that ebay would provide a better search engine. That would take care of most things.
