I know excactly what your saying Sue, there were lots of other items worded the same way as my listings and they got away with it. Crazy. Glad your son has it sorted now. Jay. xx

I have just put in a search for "as new" and came up with 12196 items with those words in the title! However, my son has now re-worded his title and re-listed his item,...

'spam regulations', thats a new one on me.

sorry but no idea what that could mean.

tell him to contact ebay and appeal it.

I may not have got the wording right, as I said I haven't actually seen it, but it seems that they are objecting to the words "As New". I think it may be this keyword spamming thing that Jay mentioned, but I can't...

Hi Sue

When eBay remove a listing they normally tell you exactly what 'rule' or policy you've breached. Can your son send you the message he's received from eBay? If you can tell us exactly what it says we'll be able to help more :-)

He sent a copy of the message to OH, but basically I think it said something about it breaching Spam...

Hi Sue, an item usually gets pulled off ebay if it is considered you have used keyword spamming. I was once selling items i had knitted, & the title said, Outfit to fit 0-3 month baby or 20-22 inch reborn berenguer. Can't use the word berenguer as that is a keyword people will use to find the actual dolls?????? Mind you it is usually someone who is selling the same item that reports it to ebay. You should be able to relist it without the "offending" word!!

Some time ago someone posted about one of their Ebay listings having been withdrawn because of Spam regulations (I think). Can somebody let me know who it was, or point me to the message? The same thing has just happened to my son who is trying to sell his camera, and I would like to know what the outcome was, and how they achieved it.

Cheers,
Sue
