I too reported the above listed auctions as keyword spamming three days ago. Today I receive the following e-mail from the top-notch, well trained eBay trust & safety team...
<< <i>Hello,
Thank you for writing to eBay with your concerns.
eBay doesn't actually handle the merchandise that is offered for
auction. Without firsthand knowledge of the item, we are unable to
guarantee the accuracy of the listing information. We encourage members
who are interested in bidding on an item to email the seller for
additional information. Be sure to ask the seller specific questions
regarding age, authenticity and condition of the item before bidding. In
the unlikely event that the seller doesn't respond, you may want to
reconsider your bidding decision.
Part of this information is contained in our User Agreement, under
article 3. I have included a portion of that Article below for your
review:
"...3.1 Overview. Although we are commonly referred to as an online
auction web site, it is important to realize that we are not a
traditional "auctioneer". Instead, our site acts as a venue to allow
anyone to offer, sell, and buy just about anything, at anytime, from
anywhere, in a variety of formats, including a fixed price format and an
auction-style format commonly referred to as an "online auction". We are
not involved in the actual transaction between buyers and sellers. As a
result, we have no control over the quality, safety or legality of the
items advertised, the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of
sellers to sell items or the ability of buyers to buy items. We cannot
ensure that a buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction."

"I always wonder why a seller would use key-word spamming to try and hype their auctions? All you're doing is setting yourself up for many returns and negative feedbacks. When your buyers attempt the cross-over you tell them is possible, they will be disapointed and insist on returns and refunds. Most likely the results will also be the exchange of negatives in your rating. (why try to doop your buyers and take the chance of being suspended from eBay?)"
If i get a response i'll post it here.
"I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT SPAMMING I CHANGED THE LISTING THAT I COULD WHEN I GET A BID I CAN'T CHANGE THE LISTING. I GIVE A REFUND ON ALL SALES IF THEY WANT THEM. jERRY"
The seller contacted me once more to let me know that he removed the PCGS reference in the titles of the auctions that had no bids. He couldn't modify the ones that bids had already been placed on.
No screaming, yelling, and reporting, just calm dialog. Proves that calm discussion can bring good results if you just try a little
update: 8:22am
I noticed the auction description(s) still had the PCGS and cross-over references so i contacted the seller again to discuss this "key-word" spamming scenario.
We'll see what happens
