TIP about ebay! Got kicked off ebay but I am back~! My auction got removed by ebay because I “manipulated the description”. The description violation was where I had “Not Camaro Firebird” in the item description. They said "The listing was removed because it violated the eBay Search and Browse Manipulation policy. The violation occurred when you included the following information in your listing: Not Camaro Firebird"
So words to the wise don’t put any thing in the main description that does not retain directly to describing your item for sale. They will close your auction and keep your money!
Here is the link to the new auction: http://http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Pontiac-Trans-Am-1989-GTA-Show-winning-magazine-LS1-6-speed-air-ride-GTA-Clone_W0QQitemZ290258514214QQcmdZViewItem?hash=ite m290258514214&_trkparms=39%3A1%7C65%3A1%7C240%3A13 08&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245

Yeah, it is a major problem for ebay users that just want to 'search' for the one car they are interested in, such as Camaro only. They don't want to see Firebirds or Trans Ams, etc... which an improper description will bring up in the search results. You can cite any vehicle example but it makes for complaints which is why ebay became strict with the policy. Sorry for your loss but you are doing the right thing by sharing your experience with others. The use of other car descriptions in titles is misleading and abused real bad by dealers, not so much individuals that just want their car seen, but it is still an ebay violation.

I can understand the reasoning behind it, and know had I read the all rules I would have known this. I used it on mine because I have seen it done on other auctions. So I can’t get mad about it because I was to laze to read it all. However it would have been nice to have gotten some kind of timed warning to give me a chance to change it, I was just 3 day away.
