I have been having loads of trouble with ebay lately, and they have been pulling down loads of my auctions for the following reasons:

UNNACEPTABLE PAYMANT METHODS : apparently, postal orders are NOT acceptable and cannot be advertised as an accepted payment method.
COUNTERFIET ITEMS : i advertised the 10" Onslaught single i had pressed up last year, and every time they pulled it as a bootleg, even though i said it wasnt and backed it up with pictures of the band holding the fucking thing!!!!!
ITEM THAT PROMOTES HATE AND / OR DISCRIMINATION : every time i listed a Burzum item it was pulled as they said it was promoting racism!!
Now today, i have just logged in and had this ::

Keyword spamming is not permitted on eBay. Keyword spamming is using brand names or other inappropriate keywords in an item title or description for the purpose of gaining attention or diverting buyers to a listing.

You may not include excessive lists of unrelated keywords or brands in your listing titles or descriptions.


How fucking stupid are they!!!! Obviously they have taken exception to the use of the name HAVOHEJ, but how is that possibly unrelated to PROFANATICA!!!!!! They are fuckin dumb as a post, i wish there was another site to list my stuff on!!!

They just want to keep the whiteman down, Bastards.

I think it may have more to do with "Rare" being in the titles. I can't move for fucking items with that in it.

Try it without that, even though it sort of defeats the point...

But is is rare!!!!

I know, i know. All i am saying is there are 20000020202020202020202020202020202 listings of things that are rare when they are not. Besides Ebay is gay, fuck me i rhymed sod all this thrash i off to be a hip hop star.

I DOOOO COCAAAAAAAAAAAINNEEE!!!!!

I have a record up on ebay at the moment - Here's how it's listed.
ANIHILATED Path To Destruction 12" rare SLAYER CRASS.
So what's the difference...
I heard though that they are targeting people who sell extreme metal quite a bit, especially those who sell black metal.

I don't know, just seemed like the most logical thing to me. I am rather new at all this Ebay noise.

I know.

But she don't like, she don't like, she don't like...Cocaine.

Mort, thats fucking gay!!! I hope you've sent them loads of angry e-mails or something like that!!!

I see stuff on there like this;

Slayer patch RARE slipknot emo goth punk metal

I guess that obviously doesn't count as 'keyword spamming' because all those things are really closely related So, really, wtf are they on about?!?!?

They have banned black and death metal from e-bay. Yet there is still loads for sale.

Seriously??! Nazis.

They just banned nazi music or music which promotes hatred/intolerance or has links to it. So some BM & DM will get taken down, sometimes wrongly so.

Where the Hell am I meant to get Skrewdriver albums from now?
