Trying to sell item with Feedback as part of the name.

[mister10010]

I'm trying to sell Magazine called "Positive Feedback, A Journal of High End Audio." Feedback is an electronic term Ebay does not allow the word "feedback" in a title; people try to sell eBay Feedback. The word is allowed if it is part of the name of an item, but I can't figure how to get that allowed.

It's the combination of Positive and Feedback that's the issue.

I am not sure this will work but you could try

2023 Positive Feed back Magazine Issue 4, A Journal of High End Audio.

Or 

2023 Positive F33dback Magazine Issue 4, A Journal of High End Audio.

or

2023 Positive FB Magazine Issue 4, A Journal of High End Audio.

If eBay is preventing you from listing that title, then other sellers are likely having the same problem. And users searching for that title will likely not be able to find it, either.

And in fact, several searches on variations of that name turn up no relevant results [edit, now I see your listing minus the F-word under "results matching fewer words"]

You may be better off selling that elsewhere.

If you search for some electronics books with the word feedback in the title, they are up on eBay. A quick glance is the sellers had big volumes of sales. Maybe they have better access to a real human fixing the issue. I tried the EBay assistant but it only got me a loop of no-customer service.

I think the problem is as @eastlaneave  describes: the combination of positive and feedback.

eBay has an interest in preventing sellers selling eBay feedback, or mentioning positive feedback in eBay listing titles.

Unfortunately the way eBay has chosen to do that makes it difficult for you to list the title of your journal, or for users searching for that name to find it.

I can see some books with feedback in the title.

@eburtonlab and I have given you good advice about what to to.

eBay Customer service won't be able to help with this issue. They can't issue approvals for listing titles.

I know this isn't want you wanted to hear, but try some of the options I gave or you may need to list on another platform that doesn't use the word feedback.

Per eastlaneave's suggestions I changed the title a bitto. The first suggestion was rejected. The second with "F33dback" was not blocked, so now it reads:

"2000* Positive F33dback Magazine Issue 4, # 6 A Journal of High End Audio"

I haven't tried his 3rd suggestion

*My guess on the date this was published is 2000. Anyone know when it was?
