I was making a new post yesterday and got the strangest pop-up message - I say strange because I can't for the life of me figure out what could have triggered it and frankly, it was rather insulting because never, EVER have I even remotely said anything about a buyers feedback in or out of a post. I don't mail any notes as I've rec'd from other sellers begging for good feedback, never posted a note in any listing, etc. See, I'm being defensive. It makes you feel like you must defend yourself against something you're not even guilty of - kind of turns my stomach. So I guess I'm wondering, is this something they do at random just to keep us on our toes or will it remain a mystery as to why I got that pop up?

I got the same warning when I was listing a Christmas "star" ornament.

More warnings gone wild. Now using the term "Stars" can cause messages? Seriously?

In looking at OP's listings the words ebay rules may have triggered the robot response. IT seems OP added these words starting the 21st.

Thank you - very much - but how does that trigger a feedback "warning" like that?

Bots, they don’t have brains.

And me, when listing a Starbucks glass mug with 5 stars.

Shhhhhhhhhh!

Don't give them ideas! It's bad enough now.

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.

Respect, like money, is only of 'worth' when it is earned - with all due respect, it can not be ordained, legislated or coerced. Anonymous
