THIS IS WHY EBAY IS SHIT
Jaan:
I appreciate your frustration Callum and eBay's handling is typical of a gigantic monopoly with the whole "it's my way or the highway" approach. They should have informed you first, but in the interest of fairness they can't apply different search rules depending on what your selling so as much as it pains me to side with a behemoth like eBay I'm going to this time :-\

One of them being for 'NOS old school bmx SM wheel discs GT'

Where's the fookin' GT in/on that item? That's the point Ebay are getting at. It has nothing to do with GT what-so-ever and shouldn't have GT in the listing title.

fook do you work for ebay or summut ????? My point was clear (Adding brand names at the end of listings that have been clearly described with pictures does not confuse buyers or products in this market place) so Ebay please give us all some credit . Did you even read my reply it was a light hearted fooking wind up with this point thrown in. The people at ebay have probably read it thought to themselves what a tool & gotten on with their shift , which is how it was meant to have been taken.
I've found with ebay that If you want a clear specific item return on a search it's best to put in a clear specific item description in the search bar in the first place, something like (redline forklifter stem) & generally you'll find most of the spam pretty much non existent , the more generic or lazy the the search criteria such as (GT OLD SCHOOL) the more spam that will appear, simple really.
Sorry if this seems to have offended you (for whatever reason) this was supposed to be a light hearted post if some of you have decided to take it upon yourselves to have a go at me over issues you have with previous posts youve seen on ebay then fair enough but it's a bit harsh & if you had taken the time to actually read my reply you'll see i was simply having a laugh at ebay & their policies (sticking up for us all & our ability to make our own mind up when making a purchase as they seem to think were all stupid ) & pointing out to them that their listing policies are not always really relevant & certainly not serious enough to remove an item from sale but actually promote sales. All i was trying to do was sell some brakes that were in a shit condition when i got them on a bike i bought (which actually was a rickman) so to me it seemed relevant to mention that in the advert & was trying to recoup some funds by selling them on .... Haw very dare i FFS ???
Gnarlyscoots:
Callum, in the first instant, no one at Ebay will ever read your reply. The first instant would have been a computer generated mail after you added a keyword like GT for instance. Your reply, though valued to you, would just get binned off. They make their policies and that's it. You won't have someone sitting there going through all the 1000's of replies to a 'removal of post'.
Not digging at you in any way, I was merely pointing out my approval of Ebay's policy in this instance mate :daumenhoch:

What has possibly happened here is a collector from the bmx politically correct society who has too much time has reported the advert.
