I kid you not. Someone did not think this through..

For a better search experience, listings can’t have the word “diamond” in the title or description unless the listing is for an actual diamond. Imitation or simulated diamonds need to be described using the actual material the stone is made of, such as: Biolite, Cubic Zirconium, Glass, Plastic , etc. Please go back and edit your listing.

Yes..under the right category too.

That also goes for:

- Diamond Scale.

- Diamond Cleaner.

- Diamond Color Chart.

There certainly seem to be a lot of listing issues like this recently.

Actually, having read your OP, I'm speechless.

Sorry this happened.

Well, there's listing issues, and there's simple stupidity. We seem to be progressing briskly from the former to the latter these days.

I wonder what sellers of Pokémon Diamond game cartridges are doing these days? Or diamond sandpaper? Etc., etc...

And sport cards, like Dondruss diamond kings

or Topps diamond refractors.

... or Diamond Toothpicks.

Amazon or Walmart don't seem to have a problem with listing them.

How about it @Anonymous ?

When is this insanity going to end?

I'm ̶p̶r̶e̶t̶t̶y̶ ̶s̶u̶r̶e̶ certain the lunatics have taken over the asylum.

@Anonymous Once again, this is absolutely out of control. Getting worse by the day.

I have had a little success by taking the 'offending' word out of the title, listing the item then going in and revising it to add 'the word.'

Worth a try.

There 'ya go!

Well, gee, that's easy to fix!

Just include a diamond in the sale! No biggie!

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

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

Perhaps if Brains were described as an APP, many people would use them more often.

Or Ancient coal tester ,, either one should satisify the E bay PC lords

z50com · ‎09-09-2017

What if you added a small diamond to the listing?

Diamond & Diamond Tester

Absolutely ludicrous!

loveyourimagination49 · ‎09-09-2017

There's over 1400 listings for diamond tester.

Go figure.

Everyone has options. Just be sure the best option is right for you.

What does one call these things when you can't use the offending word?

Spade, Heart, ????, Club

Someone should tell Waterford that they are "non compliant"

Lismore ??? Collection Vase

Oooh and Liz Taylor needs to rename her signature perfume 😞 Maybe "White Pressurized Carbon"????

One can really tell that this IS ebay - so many workarounds - for just this one thing.
