[TPIN] Ebay Question

[Rob Jonas]

I agree with the last two posts. You either need to pull the auction or just 
let it run it's course as it's not worth losing your auction privledges over 
this. I got a little cross ways with Ebay a few months back. I had listed a 
Kanstul Chicago with the discription something like "Kanstul Chicago(not a 
Bach, Schilke)". I only did that because I saw other listings like that, to 
get more hits on my horn. Well, two days before the auction was up, and 
almost at my reserve, Ebay pull it. Turns out you are not supposed to us 
descriptive words "not a " ,"not like" or "like" as it is considered 
spamming. I was furious, and emailed them about it. They sent a nice email 
response explaining the rules, so they did credit my auction fees. Just have 
to be very careful when listing. I double and triple check my listing before 
I send it to Ebay land.

Wish you luck

Rob
