Pop Report in eBay Auction Title . . . A BIG NO NO!

NewJerseyMeatHook

Never had an auction pulled before! Just a '79 topps MIKE FLANAGAN PSA 10 - 1/1. Guess I can't use "1/1" in title!! Here is what the eBay homos had to say:

Dear puttinonthefoil13,

We appreciate that you chose eBay to list the following auction-style
listing(s):

8808281816 - 1979 Topps MIKE FLANAGAN #160 PSA GEM MINT 10 - 1/1


However, your listing was in violation of eBay's Misleading Title
policy and has been removed from eBay. We have credited all associated fees
to your account and notified eBay users associated with the transaction
that it has been cancelled.

We would like to take this opportunity to let you know what part of
your listing is not permitted.

Your listing(s) contains the following information:

"1/1" is not allowed in title unless card is serial # 1/1.



Listing titles that do not accurately describe the item are not
permitted.

Yeah, that sucks.

Was a thread about this a couple weeks ago.

Any chance you could squeeze 'population of 1' in the title next time around?

I wonder if they will pull my auctions that have pop reports listed in the title ? None of mine are 1/1 but they have the 1 of listed in the title.

that's why I shell out the (ripoff) 50c for the extra line below the title and put something in it such as....

Population of 16 and none higher....for example.

When that last thread was up about this, I had some auctions that also had 1/4 and 1/3. They didn't get pulled.

I think the only reason they pull these is because someone reported it. I don't see the reason for them pulling these.

No more 1/1 for PSA cards in the title.

Try using Pop 1 or Pop 2 in the title.
That is what I've been doing now and it hasn't
been pulled yet.

put PSA population 1 of 1, if it'll fit, and it I think it'll fly

Eagle Eye Kid has the right idea--just put "POP 1" instead of "1/1" in the title (it's only 2 more spaces in the title). All serious PSA/graded card collectors will know exactly what it means. You can then be more descriptive in the description section.
I think "1/1" (especially in the eyes of the ebay police) implies it is and will always be the only 1 ever like that--and that may fool the more novice collectors out there. After reading these threads, I now agree that the term "1/1" should be limited only to cards that are trully stamped "1/1" as they WILL always be the only 1 of that particular card. POP reports change--stamped "1/1"s don't change.

Now was this really a necessary comment? To refer to eBay employees as homosexuals in a derogatory manner is an ignorant display of intolerance. Please keep your bigoted comments to yourself.

The smart money is against anyone who insinuates that a poster with a picture of Bob Dylan as their icon is a homophobe...

Please don't tell me that that includes home-made 1/1's where some jackass stamps 1/1 on all his junk cards...

I agree whole heartedly. There's no room for such an inflamatory remark.

I'd like to see an apology instead of, what, accusing someone of being a Hamas terrorist, too?

I guess I'm out of here for good if this isn't retracted...

Good grief. PC police on patrol.

Guys, he just meant "homo-sapiens".

I agree as well...That comment was in very poor taste and not necessary.

Many apologies, fellas. Very poor taste, indeed, and ignorant on my behalf.

We should all embrace, nurture and celebrate diversity.

Yet E-Bay allows this

got a card graded by a lesser company, just mention PSA in the title and no one stops it.
