I have tried selling some 'information' type products on Yahoo, but no matter what category I try to list them under, they end up being put into 'Junk Mail'. Are there words that Yahoo searches for when you click the submit button and then decides that your listing is junk mail so they put it there?

Do you have a link to Alladvantage or another surf the web site in your ads? I hear that gets them thrown into Junk mail most of the time. Otherwise I don't really know, do you have any kind of link in your descrip?

If you mean the wholesale CDs there seems to already be an ad for one every other line in every category. I'm only exaggerating a little.

I was doing a relist on one of mine and noticed it was in "junk mail" too. I thought I was having a senior moment. Then I figured it must have happened when they were adding or changing categories. I dunno.

Another thing, why does it show people's feedback as (e) sometimes?

Also, I show 208 auctions but when I click on show photos only, it shows I only have 205.

No, I didnt have any kind of link in the auction when I listed it. I do sometimes add a Paypal banner later, but it put the auction into junk mail right away.

I have been wondering what the junk mail category was for awhile now. I have been meaning to click on some of those auctions just out of curiosity to see what was listed there. I couldn't figure out why on earth anyone would list anything under such a category. I'm inferring from posted comments here that this is something that hppens involuntarily? ACKK!! How very strange!

I obviously still have quite a bit to learn about Yahoo!
