Wouldn't this be considered keyword spamming?

Most of the raw singles from this seller are listed as "PSA Ready". Really annoying when you are doing a search for actual PSA cards and have to sort through all these crappy raw singles.

    Of course it is.

    That phrasing to get the listing to appear "PSA" EBay searches is about 5% less annoying than the "BGS 8 NOT PSA" sellers.
    They all need a good, solid groin kicking from someone who's got a wide foot so they can get both of 'em.

    When you do your search, enter '-Ready' (without quotes). This leaves out any item with ready in the title. I use '-break' a lot when I am searching for sets and want to leave out 600 singles from a set break. It's pretty handy. - Kevin

    Definitely spamming. When I look for PSA certified unopened packs using "PSA cello" or "PSA wax", tons of raw cards/packs show up.

    Good call on that one, works like a charm! Thanks!

    Don't waste your time reporting it to ebay. Keyword spamming is a pet peeve of mine and occasionally I will report a really bad violation to ebay....a check back shows nothing has ever been done about it.

    This is an example of one of my saved searches. It omits all of the stuff that I don't want to show up.
    nolan ryan -199* -200* -201* -disc* -ticket* -kellogg* -ad* -rb -record -poster -photo -digest -magazine -patch -proof -scorebook -badge -sspc

    The -199* omits all cards from 1990 to 1999 (if the year is in the auction title).
