Well it has happened, Ebay canceled several auctions I had on. I am at a loss can't use certain words didn't know 360 was a word for spamming. Then there was the wrong category on top of that. Plenty listed and not all are canceled.
I figured I would sell simular items that were selling like hot cakes and got into a hornets nest apparently.
Was selling rights to an email address and if I put the actual email address in it I know it would get canceled cause they consider it keyword spamming. duh! It is an Xbox 360 email address and no way to even describe it.
So wondering what you might do. I know I can just not sell them and I usually NEVER sell stuff like this but thought I would just give it a stab. I don't see anywhere where it says you can't sell email address or is that going to be ebays next excuse?
So to make things so very no specific thought I would try Email addy for your what ever non specific words for toy. and I also made image with what was for sell so it would not even show up in search any words I might type. What do you think.
///I know I will get flack for this question but I'm P.o.ed ..... EBAY is sure showing their colors today, picky picky picky.....

no the actual email had those words or a varient in it. Thought could put what was for sell in title. guess not. Auction did not say anything about selling the game or what ever just name of email address and without the @ sign figured that would kick it if anything so left that off and put word (AT). Anyway I don't have any listed just wondering what the big deal is?

My Email address is in my auctions and has been for a long time. They've never pulled one because of that. If you are putting XBox or similar in the auction, it's considered spamming if you aren't selling that item. Have you tried to contact Live Help? I think this is a case of your d@*ned if you do, and sh*@ out of luck if you don't.
I'd try to sell it on Overstock or one of the other venues and give up trying to sell it on Ebay.
