I bopped over here with a question and now don't remember what it was

[sharingtheland]

Due to all of the other exciting posts...

Oh wait, it was another Bots Gone Wild message.  Suddenly, after listing A LOT over the past few days, I got the orange flag warning before I could submit another listing.  It was about I was asking for feedback or threatening feedback or some such nonsense which is not allowed.

I couldn't figure it out until I realized I've had the standard "Please contact me through ebay messages before leaving feedback if you have a problem yada yada" in my TOS for years.  That is the only and only time the word "feedback" appears in any of my listings.

Did I get a newly hired bot or one who has just been slacking off in his cubicle?

It really was weird - out of the blue after all of this time.  Is it another "test"? a foreshadowing of some new restriction to come?

I ignored it, of course.

You probably got a bot who had just had brand new batteries installed in his head, so was feeling extra vibrantly bot-ish!  There's nothing like fresh batteries to make a bot feel invigorated!

Now look what you've gone and done, Ollie; you made me think of putting batteries in other invigorating things...

Reading down all the threads later at night, and this one certainly didn't end up the way I expected!    I kinda feel like I should be backing out & closing the door, leaving everyone to their privacy...  carry on!

Now I've got the theme song for "Heavy Metal" running though my mind LOL

@sharingtheland,

HMMMM!

Here I thought this topic was going to be about those of us suffering with Part Timers, or suffering from CRS, Cranial Rot Syndrome, just so I am not bleeped for mentioning the oter meaning.

I'll take my leave now, so others can carry on.

Perhaps it is the same newly hired bot that has been keeping me from listing various Nike shoes when I have both Nike and the model or style name in the listing.

On one account yesterday, I tried to list a pair of Nike Air Max sneakers as Nike Air Max, but it wouldn't go through because of an error saying I was keyword spamming with unrelated brand names.  And then a day or two before on my main account, I got the same problem trying to list a pair of Nike Air Jordans.  Again, failed because the bots thought I was keyword spamming with both Nike and Air Jordan, even though Air Jordans ARE NIKE SHOES.

In both cases, I had to actually remove the word Nike from the title and description before they can go through.

So it seems that you can't list Nike shoes as Nike because listing the brand actual brand name is KWS?  Who hires these children to write the bot code?

Same here.  I may have to start with that one on my 420 walk to the post office today; at least the higher tempo studio mix from Standing Hampton...  And what a strange coincidence that is, because the one that has been stuck in my head a lot this past couple weeks was also from the same album:  Can't Get Loose.

Guess I should see if I have Taarna's Theme as well to add to my playlist; my other favorite piece from Heavy Metal.
