scubu Locked 822 Posts	Posted 01/19/2009 4:03 pm Why do I have to wade through this stuff when browsing through specific US categories. I browse these categories so I don't have to see it. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...110337679514 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...110338950497 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...110338965221 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...110339322293 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...110338554048 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...110338558210 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...110338564756 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...110339661606 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...110338962002 ebay says they will remove items miscategorized, but they rarely do. Very disappointing. Report this Post to the Staff

Not only would you need enough people to do due diligence on each, they would have to be competent in the area reported. Competent people = big payroll $$, and we all know what the biggest controllable business expense is. The lawyers are telling them, "Hands off! Don't imply responsibility!" The beancounters are telling them, "We can't afford it anyways!" Let's say I ain't holding my breath. Report this Post to the Staff
mycrob Pillar of the Community United States 2602 Posts	Posted 01/20/2009 09:46 am I see items misfiled all the time. I think at least some of it is done intentionally by the seller to get folks to look at their items. Think about it. If you goiong through Lincoln Wheat cent listings and suddenly a silver dollar picture is seen, it has your attention, because it is different then the rest. I think it is a sales tactic, but possibly, the seller will not get the full value of the coin as a result. Report this Post to the Staff
scubu Locked 822 Posts	Posted 01/20/2009 09:55 am Well, there's no doubt this guy does it on purpose. He lists them in 2 categories, one is correct, and he makes sure the second is always a US category just so people looking for US coins see the clutter. Report this Post to the Staff
