eBay

There has to be a way to turn this off? I want to streamline posting my listings, but eBay keeps adding random stuff that I can't keep track off.

Not only is it dead wrong 90% of the time, I'm "too fast" at scanning to the bottom of my template for things I actually need to adjust (price, quantity, etc.) and I don't even see what it's adding because of how slow eBay is at "finding" what to add automatically. I basically don't even see what eBay has added until I've posted already it. I don't have time to audit 100s of listings for tiny errors such as these.

The option to click the X and not update is insane. eBay should not add these specifics automatically without me confirming it. It should GIVE YOU THE OPTION to add automatic specifics with ONE CLICK. Not the other way around. If there is no way to turn this off, eBay is categorically adding random inaccurate listing specifics to thousands, if not millions, of their listings throughout the site, and is probably some scheme to increase search productivity or something else ridiculous. Let's hope I'm wrong :3

Thanks,

Blu

I gad a conversation with CS about this. They see it as an added benefit. They are not going to stop doing it.

HOWEVER right after you enter the title and then go on to the next box those recommendations appear. Simply (and somewhat automatically) cluck "remove all". There is your "one click"

HOWEVER

"non-red", "non-rare", "non-pokemon" and "non-FAB" are going to cause you more troubles than you realize.

The mere presence of, for example, the Pokemon name on something that is not pokemon will get you a Vero complaint for copyright infringment and your listing will be automatically pulled.

And don't try to re-list it. That will get your account suspended.

NEVER use "non-anything".

If it is "non-red" then what color is it? Use that color. Etc.

It's picking up on your keyword spamming - I wouldn't do that. It really muddies search.
