When I search for "Vintage Barbie Wedding Gown", I don't want to see adult Kimono's

[dolldesigns4u]

It's not my job to report over 50 auctions for adult sized woman's kimono's when I do I search for "Vintage Barbie Wedding Gowns".   I reported a few of them, but I want to get paid for reporting offenders.  Or get some kind of discount on my final value fees for selling.  

Ebay, can you possibly clean up the vintage barbie category with incorrect details?  Some sellers have over 10 to 15 violations currently.

In Advanced Search, I entered your search terms as given, and then selected the "Dolls and Bears" Category, and I saw no adult clothing items. 

This was the result:

I did a second search in All Categories, but excluded the words kimono, adult, womens:

By the way, you do know that you're not addressing eBay when you post to these discussion boards, right?   It's just member-to-member here.

The Whole Item Specifics Is A MESS, Seems like everyone has a different Specific they type in, & some get what they are looking for & MANY do not!

I just did a generic best match (default) search for vintage barbie wedding gown, looks okay to me. I don't see any kimonos.

I posted the entire search results page but I guess the image was too big, it was cut off.  There was no adult clothing of any type in the results I got.

Wait, what?  You're reporting other sellers because of flaws in the search function?  And you'd like to be reimbursed for these efforts?  This one goes in the Hall of Fame.

It's not the seller's doing.  It's the eBay search and it always brings up stuff your not looking for.

Strange.  Went to Dolls & Bears, selected Best Match, searched for Vintage Barbie Wedding Gown.  There are 784 listings under this category.  Went through about the first 4-5 pages and saw nothing except Barbie wedding gowns, some lots that included a Barbie wedding gown and that's all.

I just did the same search and found Klaus Barbie in a ..........

I think my jaw has permanently dislocated.  It's been on the floor too long.  

You don't want eBay, lady.  You want Santa Claus.  

Or maybe move to a state where vigilantism (for certain activities) is currently accepted and can be compensated through the courts.  But selling on eBay is not one of those activities.

I reported a few of them, but I want to get paid for reporting offenders.

But I like Barbies in Adult Kimonos.

It is not clear what you reported them for. Are you saying these sellers incorrectly put their kimono listings under the doll category? That seems unlikely. Just the presence of unrelated listings in your Barbie search results is not evidence of sellers violating policy. It is evidence of eBay’s manipulation of search results.

[powell-memorabilia]

Well, I executed your search - no kimonos were included.  Even if there were, I don’t see a reason to report the listings.

I will help you learn to search. First off when you type vintage Barbie wedding gown, a popup will show up right under the search bar. Click the link that says the correct category. DOLLS, CLOTHING, AND ACCESSORIES. You will not see a single adult women's kimono. Secondly if you skip the word vintage you will find a whole bunch more because half the sellers do not put vintage in their titles.
