Statements that discourage buyers... HUH?

I was making a new post yesterday and got the strangest pop-up message - I say strange because I can't for the life of me figure out what could have triggered it and frankly, it was rather insulting because never, EVER have I even remotely said anything about a buyers feedback in or out of a post. I don't mail any notes  as I've rec'd from other sellers begging for good feedback, never posted a note in any listing, etc. See, I'm being defensive. It makes you feel like you must defend yourself against something you're not even guilty of - kind of turns my stomach. So I guess I'm wondering, is this something they do at random just to keep us on our toes or will it remain a mystery as to why I got that pop up?

I got the same warning when I was listing a Christmas "star" ornament.

More warnings gone wild.  Now using the term "Stars" can cause messages?  Seriously?

Re: Statements that discourage buyers... HUH?

In looking at OP's listings the words ebay rules  may have triggered the robot response.  IT seems OP  added these words starting the 21st.

Re: Statements that discourage buyers... HUH?

Thank you - very much - but how does that trigger a feedback "warning" like that?

And me, when listing a Starbucks glass mug with 5 stars.

Not saying 'NO' doesn't mean 'YES'.

The foolishness of one's actions or words is determined by the number of witnesses.
