Alun Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Well it makes sense up to the end of "AC/DC" What a very very odd listing!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 Maybe this is in fact marketing genius? Perhaps I could advertise a kettle on eBay as: JIMI-HENDRIX-METALLICA-THRASH-METAL-kettle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I've reported it to fleaBay. This sort of thing really pisses me off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 its funny, i had a listing pulled for once for 'keyword spamming' withing hours, and it wasnt even spamming (my boss bassman pedal, i entitled it Boss Fender Bassman effects pedal, it was pulled for using Fender and Boss in the same title, despite that being exactly what it was!), but yet they don't do anything about this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honesty and full description/disclosure are obviously not qualities eBay prioritise in listings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
