Just saw the strangest thing on eBay.
Even though we are limited to 45 charters for titles, I saw an auction in eBay Motors while doing a new auction title & description search for "British Columbia" that actually has 94 characters in the actual auction title, but really strangely, has only 76 characters in the search page title, and they appear there in a different order than the auction listing title!
However this seller managed to finagle his or her way around the eBay system, the title is strung together something like this:

I know some of the software that you can use to submit an auction will let you enter more than 45 characters. I think Auction Submit might be one of them but cant remember for sure. Those xXXx's to me though seem maybe like a programming language????

Well they weren't really "X"'s, I just didn't think I could put the real auction title in there without contravening AuctionWatch rules, so I used X instead of the real letters on eBay.
