Just thought these were interesting numbers:
6-4-01
# of Ebay Auctions containing the phrase \"Visit Our Website\"
72,911
# of Ebay Auctions containing the phrase \"Visit My Website\"
15,088

There has been little change in these numbers since the new no link policy.

Hey, I've got an idea...didn't eBay say they were going to rely on their users to become "link cops", so how about reporting all 87,998 of them to eBay, that should keep the slaves down in the galley busy rowing away on their keyboards!

(I'm assuming you won't report MY auction!)

Try putting this;
visit (website, site)
in ebay's search box and check the "Search titles and descriptions (to find more items!)" box and see how many you get.

Try "visit homepage". 21993 auctions.

Am I a sucker for pulling my link? (or will I have less competition next week?)

Oh, what fun! Let's start emailing ebay! Just the big e-businesses tho!

Actually, I think there is at least a 10 day wait until the listings run out from May 30th or whatever.

...and at any one time there is always several thousand auctions stating what they are and then what they are not!

TROY MICR 2100T Secure Laser Printer - NOT HP

Georgia State Flag (not Jesse Jackson flag)

Eclipse 33240 car amplifier NIB, not alpine

BUGLE BOY JEANS 30 NEW w/tags (not Levi)

Prime examples of clear violations of ebays listing TOS.


Where are those volunteer police when ya need them????

I received a very polite reminder about linking to my web page (which I have now removed)I was informed they will be sending "educational" notices regarding the new link policy to sellers until June 15th just to make sure everyone understands the new policy and has had ample time to comply.
