I’m having a bit of a clear out of stuff which is really gnarly to fondle occasionally, but very rarely gets listened to. And I have discovered that:<\/p>\n

1) If you\u2019re selling stuff you get stats on how many people are watching your items.
\n2) My obsession with watching items I am selling far outweighs my obsession with watching items I am bidding on.
\n3) There is no problem posting up pictures of naked Japanese women who are trussed up like turkeys<\/a>…
\n4) …but Ebay doesn\u2019t like the word \u201cfuck\u201d:<\/p>\n

Hello John-Eden,<\/p>\n

Thank you for writing to eBay. I am sorry to learn that you are facing problems in searching the item number 4773190712.<\/p>\n

I reviewed our records and found that the listing for the item number 4773190712 <\/a>contains questionable word (f***). Our system will not index items for search that have inappropriate language in them. These words in your auction prevent this indexing. Unfortunately, this problem comes up occasionally with albums and CDs.<\/p>\n

In this case, I would suggest you to end the listing early for your item and then relist it with the corrections and without that word.<\/p>\n

Also note that using asterisks or other symbols and characters to disguise the word will not work. The system will recognise the attempt, and if the symbols are in the title, they will break the indexing attempt anyway.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
