Re: [Aroid-l] Off-Topic ebay question

From: The Silent Seed <santoury at aol.com> on 2012.02.22 at 15:57:51(22578) Some sellers list an item with "other" names, just so that their item shows up in your search. It bugs me, but it's a way to get more people to "walk by" your item. ______________________________________________ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- HTML +More Do you want to receive my plant newsletters via email? santoury@aol.com The Silent Seed - Rare and Unusual Plants ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Susan B To: Discussion of aroids Sent: Wed, Feb 22, 2012 10:53 am Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] Off-Topic ebay question Just like the person that sells Naked Ladies Amaryllis but lists them as Amorphophallus, probably not much you can do, or ebay will ignore you if you complain. From: Ken Mosher To: Aroid list Sent: Wednesday, February 22, 2012 12:26 AM Subject: [Aroid-l] Off-Topic ebay question I wanted to ask this group a somewhat OT question because there are lots of heavy eBay users here. I discovered this seller (http://stores.ebay.com/7servant7/) who has so very many questionable, if not outright fraudulent listings. (See the rainbow rose seeds as an example of the worst offense, item 160733406329). I've investigated eBay's listing policies and there doesn't seem to be any way to report her; I can't find any specific rule she's breaking. It shows a real flaw in the eBay system that I had never discovered - I can list a "left-handed skyhook" for sale and there's not much anyone can do about it! I would like to make it my life's work to shut this woman down if someone has a clue as to how it can be done. eBay simply doesn't seem to have a procedure for something like this. I feel myself starting a rant so I'll just hit send before I lose it completely... -Ken _______________________________________________ Aroid-L mailing list Aroid-L@www.gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l _______________________________________________ Aroid-L mailing list Aroid-L@www.gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l ----------MB_8CEBF91DDD25A70_1D34_12451A_webmail-d029.sysops.aol.com-- --==============84619054307312602==
