Ebay keyword spamming

[makster]

Is it just me or is there more and more keyword spamming on ebaly lately?
If I was looking for a Yeti or a Klein then I'd be sick of wading through the amount of crap that comes up :?
It's doing my head in just looking for some XT bits for the girlfriends bike

It's rife, and it boils my p!ss too.

Ebay turn a blind eye though, they may miss out on a couple of ££ in fees.

There can be a positive aspect to keyword spamming. :shock:

Very occasionally I've discovered parts that would not have shown using my usual search parameters.

Nothing wrong with keyword spamming if it helps to make a sale.

Putting -not and -like in the search can help to weed some of the crap out.

Yup, me too, but not enough to make up for the time wasted filtering out the spam or the parts missed because I couldn't be arsed filtering the spam.

Good tip that. Will need to amend some of my searches.

While it really does grip my sh!t I have been known to do it myself too. Don't think it is any worse now. Been pretty bad as long as I can remember.
