People who keyword spam in their auction titles. Link to item. He's got a few more in his other auctions that are the same way.

Suggested new title:
DONT L@@K!! ITS NOT PCGS!!
Just go on to the next item in your search.
any effect . It is a big company that is also traded on the AMEX
exchange .Notice also, that they accept checks and money orders
I'm just adding to my post count.
Nice coin, though.
<< <i>It is annoying, but its a way to get more searches and more customers thru the door. >>
And that's why it's not allowed. If I want to search for something specific, I want those results. Ebay has a clear policy against this practice.
<< <i>What a waste of character slots that could have accommodated L@@K and stuff like that. >>
Don't forget about W@W, that's always an eye catcher
<< <i>but its a way to get more searches and more customers thru the door. >>
And it's completely against eBay policy. I know how to search eBay for what I want. I don't need idiot sellers clogging my search results.

As for you Pennyannie, ever wonder how many tickets those "keystone cops" have saved you? Same goes for eBay. Imagine if eBay didn't accept reports of listing violations and hired their own inhouse people to cover everything. You think their fees are high now, ha!
<< <i>since it went poof.... what did it say ???? estate? PQ? Key Date? What?
the listing had ANACS, NGC, and PCGS in the title
doh...you don't get it.
What do you and a million abused women have in common??????
You just won't listen.
<< <i>I find it funny that so many people bitcch and moan about eBay cops. I mean, you people don't complain when we expose fake coins being sold on eBay, do you? >>
Exposing fake coins is a good thing. Too bad eBay employees have to spend time dealing with other violations which are nowhere near as damaging to the hobby, though, don't you think? Wouldn't it be better for eBay users in the long run if they dealt with the minor issues themselves, and let eBay handle the bigger problems?
Now, I'm not saying that violating some of eBay's policies is okay- in a perfect world, everybody would follow the rules. However, it's not a perfect world, and eBay doesn't have unlimited resources available for policing the site. Every minute spent by an eBay employee dealing with a trivial issue is a minute not spent on a serious one.

Yep, we have a new winner. The Dumbest Thing I Have Ever Read on the Forums. Congrats drwstr123!! Now, "Mind your business."
to police their website, if others want to do that (for free) , then it's up to them.
If ebay would like to pay me to police their website that's a different story
I would feel differently if there was a fraudulent listing that potentially
someone would buy and be cheated on,
reporting in that situation would be a public service
<< <i>Does ebay send out certificates to all the undercover cops on a yearly basis? It is no big deal. Kind of like the speed monitors in the fast lane, i just go around them and clip there nose coming back to the front. I watch them cussing and raising cane in the rear view mirror as i speed off into the sunset. It used to annoy me that guys spent their day playing keystone cop, but decided that these sqealers have issues with their daily lives and this aspect makes them feel important and the only way they feel they can contribute to society. I try to follow the rules (although i sometimes fail to post the whole reverse of the slab, i would rather give a close up of the coin and save the dime)

On net, I'd rather that there be some people who kind of keep an eye on flagrant abuse at eBay. Rather than reflecting poory on those folks, your comments speak volumes about your character. I'll try to avoid you on the highway, and on the bourse.
Check out my current listings: https://ebay.com/sch/khunt/m.html?_ipg=200&_sop=12&_rdc=1
Certified Morgan $ not PCGS NGC ANACS! NO RES
You find it's CGS looking for an opening bid of $300.00 (twice its value) but no reserve.

Thank you Barndog
<< <i>So yeah, keyword spamming is damaging to the hobby and I plan to do something about it. Is it as damaging as selling fakes? Of course not, but to say it's no big deal and that I have some sort of personal issue for reporting it is short-sighted, ignorant, and quite irresponsible. >>
As an eBay buyer, if I find a seller who keyword spams while searching for stuff to bid on, I don't need to have eBay do anything- I can block him from my searches all by myself. Unfortunately, although there's an "exclude" function for sellers, there isn't one for fakes.
I have been self employeed for the last 30 years, every once in a while someone will try to tell me how to run it, that has no connection what so ever with me. It is generally a full time job to keep my employees and business running and headed the right direction that i do not feel the need to try to run a strangers business.
BTW i got a ticket for 76 in a 60 last week. I will just tie it up in the court system for a few years and it will end up dismissed with the rest of them.

The oddest part was that it was an MS 63 Half Dime, if I recall what I read this morning. A coin in a PCGS holder
That's what doesn't make sense to me. Why would the seller list a PCGS holdered coin and then say : "Not ANACS or NGC" in the title ?
"Including any information that does not describe or is not directly relevant to the item being sold or is intended to misrepresent the terms of sale. (Keyword Spamming) "
Saying what the item is NOT is directly describing the item. I would hate for you to think that it might be any other type of coin.
But I see your reasoning that Ebay does ban "Any other activity that eBay deems as inappropriately diverting members to a listing or harming the finding experience for buyers."
Golly I would hate my searching experience to be altered by ***WOW*** or ***MUST LOOK*** or any other contrived diverting tacting. Maybe when Ebay gets to the point that Amazon is and only lists direct prices from companies, or every time you search you get 100 items of the same GD thing with the same GD picture your searching experience will be better!! Oh wait this has already come to pass.
Edited to add:
But just so you know this thread was for nought.....I did not know it was a violation of ebay policy to include titles this way. Of course I have not sold anything in over a year on Ebay and it was all the rage back then.
