Sap Moderator Australia 16817 Posts	Posted 06/22/2007 10:16 pm For most of my ebay searches I have the "search item and description" box ticked - because I don't trust them to be psychic sellers and put the words I want to search for in the auction title. Normally this isn't too much of a problem - but sometimes http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NUMISMATIC-M...IN_W0QQitemZ 180132113995QQihZ008QQcategoryZ530QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C.

Sap Moderator Australia 16817 Posts	Posted 06/22/2007 11:21 pm Ah. So it is against ebay policy. I was wondering about that. I'll know for next time. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
Parklane64 Rest in Peace United States 2668 Posts	Posted 06/23/2007 12:43 pm Aha, just had to highlight it. A beginner, you can just bury that stuff in the coding and no one would see it. (Unless they looked at the page source) Report this Post to the Staff

DoubleDie Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 06/23/2007 9:14 pm It is illegal to "keyword spam". He may not know this and he is surely not the first. There is another seller who puts a glossary of terms in all of his auctions so they come up on every search. I just haven't gotten around to reporting him. I'm glad there are so many reporting these sellers. Keep up the good work! Report this Post to the Staff
Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 06/24/2007 01:21 am G'day, I had a look at the listing cited by SAP. I found the "invisible text". In it, I noticed these - - "rupia; rupie;" so if I collected Indonesian or East African coins, I'd end up here as well; - "vespa; piaggio; vespa d'epoca;" which must confuse motor-scooter enthusiasts who find themselves on this page; and - - "ipod" well, he is lateral.
