    That seller really should learn to use paragraphs.

    I had to look at the picture to figure out what the grade was.

    Looks like a nutcase. Not worth the hassle for an MS-63 common Morgan.

    I fell asleep before I could get through the first sentence. image

    I worder if eBay changes more for a big word file like that? image I doubt it because I can't see how that could be worthwhile for this seller.

    She should tell us more about that coin image

    How would you like to listen to her every night.

    I've seen this seller before. She needs a bibliography for that copy/pasted encyclopedia reference.

    However, I don't see any egregious spamming on her part. I've seen much, much worse (i.e. dealers selling raw coins they call MS68 and adding PCGS to their titles).

    Yes, I agree. This idiot in particular.

    I periodically search for coins made of electrum. They were made for hundreds of years by many nations, so you can't narrow down your search much. And because the composition is rarely included in the title, you have to search the listings, too.

    But this idiot includes a 1,000-word essay on the definition and history of coinage in every single listing they post. So all of their auctions come up every time I search for "electrum".

    Do you need to know that the Lydians made coins of electrum when you're buying PCGS slabbed bison nickel? No. It's keyword spamming.

    Why? Simply because you searched for something and had to read the entire thing? The seller didn't make you read it. In fact, if this seller has a habit of providing you with too much info, block 'em. Pretty simple procedure and if it means one less "eBay sucks because I don't like . . ." threads, it'll be worth it.

    Keyword searches on eBay are in the title only and not in the description.

    Though her description reads like War and Peace, her item title is acceptable.
