I don't know who the drymount you are so in sum - drymount off and don't ever talk to me again. Does that answer your question?

I am not in the business of having words addressed to me by random assholes; there are enough specific assholes in life for that. I don't get up every day and go to some wack ass lame job that I hate and stuff my drymounting fat face with saturated fats like others; I get my ass kicked and occasionally kick ass right back at one of the world's most renowned fight stables. I am never in the mood to read quips or otherwise take fudge from pissant nerds. drymount off.

It's not a tell when someone writes about a package that tracking shows as "delivered" with "Did this have insurance? Cause it shows delivered but I haven't gotten it." Nice lead off. :hanging:

I sold an item and shipped it by Priority Mail with Signature Confirmation since it was over $250, now it has just been sitting at the recipient's PO since 8/8. WTH. Hopefully he gets it within 15 days or it gets shipped back to me.

Sign them up for Delivery Notifications via USPS (you have their email from the PayPal payment). Otherwise, send them a kind message via eBay.

Already sent them a message on eBay and will sign him up for the notifications. The package only went to Jersey, so at least it didn't travel far. Thanks for the advice.

Dear....

You recently listed the following auction-style listing:

160867575717 - Yoskay Yamamoto Autumn Rare Sold Out Ed.20 (Not Kawasaki, Chueh, Amy Sol)
160867576458 - Yoskay Yamamoto Winter Rare Sold Out Ed.20 (Not Kawasaki, Chueh, Amy Sol)
160867577284 - Yoskay Yamamoto Spring Rare Sold Out Ed.20 (Not Kawasaki, Chueh, Amy Sol)
160867577761 - Yoskay Yamamoto Summer Rare Sold Out Ed.20 (Not Kawasaki, Chueh, Amy Sol)


Unfortunately, we had to remove your listing because of the following:

Please understand that the names Kawasaki, Chueh and Amy Sol is considered the same as a brand name. Celebrity names can only be included in a listing, as long as the celebrity created, officially endorsed, owned, or signed the item.

Please don’t make a comparison or reference to a brand that isn’t the same brand you're selling, not only does this confuse buyers and make it hard for them to find what they’re looking for but this can cause legal trouble for misrepresentation or infringement on other’s rights.

The title is a place to state what an item actually is, including other brand names results in a poor search experience. We realize you may not have been aware of this guideline, but we ask that you not relist the item unless you have made the necessary corrections to the listing.

You can include a brand, celebrity, manufacturer, or style name in a listing only if that information directly matches what you're selling in the listing.

Be careful not to make comparisons or say that it's like a certain product because it can be misleading. It can also make it harder for people to find what they're looking for on eBay.

So don't include words or details that have nothing to do with the item for sale. For example, putting extra brand names in a listing just to have it show up in more search results is against our rules.

For more information on our search and browse manipulation policy, go to:
http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/sea ... ation.html

Important: The next time you sell, you may be asked to take a tutorial. Once you've completed the tutorial successfully, please review your account status for any other possible concerns. If there are no other issues, you should be able to sell again.



Please note: violation of this or other eBay policies may result in forfeit of eBay fees on cancelled listings, limits on account privileges and account suspension.

Your listing(s) may be eligible for relisting through My eBay. If your listing is eligible, you will see the listing in your Unsold Items page within My eBay. Listings that are not eligible for relisting will not be visible in the Unsold Items page.

To relist your item, sign in to eBay, go to My eBay to your Unsold items, and select the item that was canceled -- it's highlighted with a yellow banner. Before relisting, please make any changes necessary to ensure that your revised listing is in compliance with the law and eBay policies. You might want to check your other listings for similar violations as well.


You can review our listing removal policies and seller rules by clicking the links at the end of this email.

Make sure your future listings follow these guidelines. If they don't, they may be removed, and you may be subject to a range of other actions, including restrictions of your buying and selling privileges and suspension of your account.

We appreciate your understanding.

It's called keyword spamming and has always been against eBay policy. I understand that a lot of other people do it, unfortunately for you, you got caught... I find it funny that you might have to take a class next time you try and list something. Now if they would only do something about the rampant shill bidding...

it's called keyword spamming and people hate to be looking for something and find the results littered with crap like "NOT" whatever they were looking for. there are lots of people who will get away with things, some will get busted for it. at least they're trying, i guess. as a buyer or seller, keyword spam is a pain in the ass imho

That fudge is annoying... the listings, that is. Always fun to have a search set up and get emailed only to find out all of them are keyword spamming listings. I only wish they would get everyone that does it.

eBay 120968352488

I was following this one, and this line in the description read a little clinical to me: "This print will be shipped rolled up in a poster tube."

Also I didn't notice any prints in their feedback, and messaged the seller: "Do you have experience shipping posters? Will you use Kraft paper and tissue paper?"

Their reply: "I have sold and shipped a few posters in the past and have had no complaints. I also have never used Kraft or tissue paper."

Needless to say I didn't bid, but I hope the winner can't wait for their chub-rubbed or worse Mononoke!!!

Good luck on future drops
