I've just spent 2 f--ing hours trying to list stuff on Ebay...

only to get the following error:

You cannot submit your listing due to the following problems

And it's talking B*LL@X because I am verified and I have followed their stupid instructions. Now I'm going to miss the sodding 10plisting day. Bah!

THIS is why I am going to do a car boot sale

I think

have not even tried to Ebay and the thought brings me out in a cold sweat

I have never had this sort of problem before and I'm seriously p-ed off. Grrrr.

It's boxed sets od DVDs, they sell well on Ebay.

oh I have a whole walk in cupboard full of stuff to shift

it would take me a week to list

do you ever get ripped off?

i got an alert the other day (when putting a listing on) rollocking me about the potential comeback from listing a fake item blah blah blah. would i like to amend what i had written? they recommend i put the word "genuine" in the title.

as a buyer i wouldnt touch any item described as "genuine" with a barge pole, just makes me think of del boy, which is why i avoid writing that!

guilty until proven innocent! twas only a ruddy pair of levis.

It's boxed DVDs. There are hundreds of identical itemslisted and I've not included any banned stuff or however they phrase it.

In my anger I've emailed them to tellthemwhat a bunch of incompetant idiots they are and I just know they'll come back and say "did you do this...?" and it will all have been my fault for making some silly little error I haven't spotted.

FFS I was listing 3 outgrown girls tops today and they are designer ish brands so put all 3 FACTUAL names in the listing title
And it was bloody declined for SPAMMING
Dickheads
But of course pop it into sub headings and pay extra and they'll let you go
GRRRR

I have noidea what's wrongbecause Turbo (HA!) lister and Ebay tellmedifferent things. TL claims I@ve committed some cardinal sin and stuffed up my paypal account, Ebay just whinges about PayPal.

I'm going to burn down their HQ with my firey breath.

No Olive, I@ve not been ripped off. Yet.

yet i saw someone deliberately keyword spamming. in amongst some designer listings they had just slipped this word in...it wasnt even "my item is similiar to", or "in the style of". it was a blatent keyword spam...never got picked up on. i was peed off because i was selling the real thing (this wasnt the levis btw).

got the last laugh though, theirs sold for £2.50

ha!

I reported someone for selling "Little star bedding - Next day postage" with the result that it came up whenever you searched for the Little Star range from Next. oddly enough, none of their other items used the phrase "next day postage"

Ebay haven't responded to my (quite frankly) p-ed off email...

i had a problem listing a pushchair because i put it was like new

they came back and said you can't say it's like another brand (ffs it isn't a brand it's the condition) i got charged for the listing lost the bids that were on it and has to pay to relist it

i emailed them and explained their mistake and just got another email referring to their rules (which i still had not broken)

obv they have some sort of machine doing this and not a person over the age of 2

DVDs sell GREAT in boot sales.

So do CDs, jewellry, mobiles, etc.

Car boot all the way!

it's over in hours and you walk away with cash, never to be bothered by pesky buyers again.

Quite frankly I'm not prepared to get up at the crack of dawn to ponce about in a muddy field/carpark

Piffle I had the same problem yesterday.
I listed 35 things and logged on at 7om to find 20 of them had been delisted due to "spamming"

I wouldn't have minded but it took me ages to do and they were guenuine items with the correct name and 3 even had bids on them.

I was well pissed off

They have done bugger all about a seller usineg a different identity to push up the price of the auction
