Ebay removing the wrong listings - check this one out!!!

[bubblerock]

They seem to remove pretty harmless listings quickly yet leave ridiculous listings like THIS !!!

WTF???? i'VE HAD MY LISTINGS REMOVED BECAUSE I PUT 'NEARLY NEW' A COULPE OF TIMES !!!

I had something removed because I said it was a mothercare breast pump that was new..which it is wtf

Reported

ditto flame

ditto

Your linked listing has gone now bubblerock!

I think they're removing listings with 'nearly new' so people searching for 'new' items, don't get 'nearly new' as well. It's going a bit far I think.

Great stuff - I expect he'll be back though. I guess it's easier for Ebay to act on mass postings with 'Nearly new' than the real scammers who put things in their listings. I still don't find anything wrong with nearly new though.

listings get removed when they get reported. Ebay don't actually look through listings themselves, they rely on the community reporting them.
If you do a search for as new or almost new or whatever you will always find loads of them. If one gets reported it will either be a competitor, someone who got annoyed at landing on an item that isn't 'actually' new or just a community minded member.

I personally don't like the use of as new/ almost new/ nearly new etc. If I want new I want 'new' not used once, played once, read once....

Link is gone. What was the item?

Someone selling a sports team top (or that was what the title said), and then in the listing it said it was the carrier bag it came in.

That is just plain lying.

The Xbox box that went for silly money was people being stupid and not reading properly because it said clearly in the title it was for an xbox box, and then there was this big essay about how you could walk up and down the street with it in a bag so people thought you had one

selling boxes for things has been going on for a long time. It can be genuine as some people want to buy a box so that they can then sell their item for more because it will be in a box. The problems come when the seller tries to deceive or doesn't make it clear, but there have been many occasions when people just don't read the listing.

This one was complete deception - the title was just the top, no mention of packaging.

I was genuinely thinking of selling our xbox 360 box. We don't need it, and it might 'improve' somebody's Christmas present. I would make it very clear though.
