KEYWORD SPAMMING - Why can you report something that has no consequences?
Does anybody have time to go through 3000 results when over 1/3 of them are irrelevant?
Do you want a door mat when you're searching for a toy train? Do you want a lamp when you're searching for dog food? Do you want a sex toy when you're searching for a toaster? Do you want an 8-oz bag of corn chips when you're searching for a queen-size mattress?
NO. Nobody does. "Keyword Spamming" is one of the selections when you click on "Report an Item." Why? Those listings with keyword spamming (i.e. LIES) stay up for their duration after being reported. My search results take up 10+ pages (200/page) and there are so many that shouldn't be there
And eBay will ask me "show all results?" if there are a lot of items that come up. Yes - if I search for something, that means I want to see if it's available. Why ask that when so many non-results show up because a seller puts unnecessary words in their listings?
Is there a better way than "Report an Item" to deal with this problem? It's not only not going away, it's getting worse!
