Spotify blocked as a search term
Why is eBay blocking "Spotify" as a search term? When searching for anything with "Spotify", the eBay search comes up empty, nothing. For example, if you are searching for a "Spotify Fans First" edition (a popular limited edition variant of a vinyl record) of the new Khruangbin album, the search comes up with nothing, no listings. But there are literally 100s of Spotify Fans First records listed for sale on eBay, from many different artists. The only way to find them is to search "Fans First" without "spotify" and suddenly you can see all the Spotify editions. So WHY has eBay blocked the term "Spotify" from their searches? And How would one even bring this to eBay's attention? So bizarre.

OP2 years ago So I just followed your search link and got "No Results", same as when I search "spotify". What's up with that?

Mentor2 years ago@lo-jak I didn't know you were using the app. In the future mention if you are using the app or a computer. Although you SHOULD expect close to same results on both, it appears the app is having issues.
I just tried the search on my cellphone and I get zero results too. I even did what tech always says and removed the app, restarted my phone and reinstalled the app. Still zero results.
I was able to search using my phones browser and typing in eBay.com and then searching for Spotify.

Mentor2 years ago@lo-jak I just tried a search with Spotify only as the keyword and receive lots of results.
