Just had an item pulled ...

[Galava]

This is the second time this has happened to me, nappies (FGS) and a Swiss motorway pass which I suppose I can understand in retrospect.

How many times do you get before ebay kicks you off ........

[Disenchanted3]

i got pulled for writing 'please make an offer' ... on 'buy it now or best offer auction ...

Ebay are idiots.

[Galava]

That makes me feel a bit better

[fryalot]

dp was lucky enough to win this book about birds of the world and it being quite an expensive book, still in its wrapper we put it on ebay.

They accepted the listing but wouldn't actually show it.

Can you guess why?

[Disenchanted3]

it said blue tit ?

[Galava]

[fryalot]

just "tit"

yup.

Twas a book about birds that featured tits.

I was

So the listing read: "Handbook of the Birds of the World (Volume 12): Picathartes to (the word that ebay won't allow me to post) and Chickadees"

I figured that they would all know what it meant.

And we got ninety odd quid for it, so it worked out okay in the end...

Why pull the nappies tho????

[bubblagirl]

do you write hardly used or only used once in title

as i put swim nappy used once and got pulled as classed as underwear and cant sell second hand underwear as a rule

can state it in listing just not in title

[Piffle]

do not put them as used

[nickschick]

why would they not allow a swiss motorway pass tho???

[Galava]

Its a government issued document.

You dont need one do you ????

[booge]

Nappies are used underwear apparently

[ToiletRollCover]

Nappies are used underwear? How bloody ridiculous!! So people are ok to see manky used tights to oddballs but mums can't sell nappies!!! The worlds gone mad I tell you!!!

[MmeLindt]

The Swiss motorway pass is non-transferable.

Did you not stick it on the car? If you did not then you could have had a hefty fine if the police has stopped you. It won't come off in one piece so cannot be passed on to ohters.

[Galava]

I know Toiletroll, but what really bugs me is that there are half a dozen others still up for auction atm, yet mine was pulled within a couple of hours of being listed.

I'm tempted to relist but as I've already had 2 infringements they might close my account.

Its not really worth the effort or the worry is it ?

[nickschick]

No lol I dont need a swiss motorway pass - we are going to great yarmouth lol i just wondered why it wasnt allowed.

Flamesparrow also co-ordinates 2nd hand nappy sales on her 'bum fluff' nappy site

[MorrisZapp]

I was pulled for using 'spam keywords' in my auction title. It's so long since I sold anything I didn't realise they had changed the rules on this.

Basically, you can't use other brand names in your title ie 'Joules jumper size 14 (Boden, White Stuff)' etc, this is now considered to be spam.

Don't know if you're allowed them in your description or not.
