Search and browse manipulation

[socalboomer50]

I'm out there happily reporting price gougers and ran across this enterprising individual.

They are selling a used Bulova watch.  Knowing what the hot items are they used Sanitizer Virus in their title to bring buyers to their listing.

Of course I happily reported them for search manipulation too.

And that is a dishonorable, if not despicable listing tactic, to be sure, but I'm afraid in you reporting, you were likely just straightening the deck chairs on the Titanic.  And here, you are only helping him to promote his listing.  I know....I know....Dee if you do, and Dee if you don't

Does that seller seriously think that somebody who want to buy sanitizer will decide to buy his little old watch instead?
