eBay

jkc190e · ‎08-10-2017

Hello!...I don't think there is anything wrong with putting a question mark after a makers name if you're not sure if it is or isn't by said maker. I was harassed by a buyer telling me my listings were wrong and implied I was trying to deceive buyer's. She even threatened to involve eBay after I was " corrected " by her. She clearly didn't read my descriptions. And I asked her...Well, how do I know that you know they are not as described? Crickets!...Is there a way to block someone from seeing my listings and to stop messaging me? I don't feel this is an eBay matter to pursue. I just want this arrogant woman to go away!...Thought?...Thanks!

As others have pointed out, there are two powerful reasons not to mention a brand name unless your product is branded by that company.

1. It's against policy.
2. It's a natural born SNAD. All buyer has to do is claim it's not the advertised brand, and you lose. Some buyers take advantage of this. Your correspondent was no cheater.
So it would be correct to surmise a "buyer" who takes advantage of such a thing is a scammer right?
I'd call it karma.
A simple mistake in a listing is justification for a scammer to take advantage in your view?

Ummmmm That's not really what Karma is. Karma in this circumstance means that when you fail to do the right thing because doing the right thing doesn't benefit you, bad things can happen. If tyou've been notified there is a "mistake" and you fail to rectify it, it is no longer a simple mistake. It's the way the universe rights wrongs. It has little to do with a scammer and more to do with the scammee. Then again, the scammer will have their own Karma to deal with.

but still leaving Rosemeade as the first word in your titles?
@jkc190e

Ummmmmm what that says to me is... I'm keyword spamming, I KNOW I am keyword spamming, but I'm not changing it because it benefits me to keyword spam.
This is getting ridiculous.

OP you've been told throughout this thread that what you are doing is key word spamming which is against eBay listing rules.

No matter what your intent or your "innocence" of knowing the rules- you're scamming buyers.

Liar liar pants on fire.

I think they've edited everything.

I'm seriously curious about this listing as I collect bears & S&P's: ROSEMEADE BROWN BEARS SALT AND PEPPER

I don't see a Rosemeade mark. How do you know they are Rosemeade?

Also in the 2 listings for Rosemeade S&P's, you state this: I am listing more vintage salt and peppers. Most are Rosemeade.

You have 9 listings for S&P's, yet only 2 are listed as Rosemeade. I'm not great at math, but 2 out of 9 is not MOST.

jkc190e · ‎08-11-2017

Well excuuuuse me if I missed something!!...The bears are Rosemeade...I am DONE with this! Y'all can argue with yourselves...Bless your hearts.

I just asked how do you know for sure?

Geez, I'd hate to see how you'd answer that question from a potential buyer, which I was until I just saw your reply to me.

Carry on oh great seller.

There are plenty of ebay sellers making a living taking advantage of mistakes in listings. They buy the mistakes that benefit them, not the one that made the mistake.

If a seller uses keyword spamming for the item they are listing and a scammer just buys the item not knowing enough about the name to tell that it isn't the brand- then the scammer gets a valueless item, and the seller will get a snad dispute. Karma.

(*Bleep*)

No, they have not. Taking out the ? is not fixing the underlying problem.

Between the lurkers reporting and the high prices the OP is charging for common stuff that is a hard sell for half what they are charging, I doubt that they will be on ebay for long.

(*Bleep*)

I mainly take advantage of omissions. If the seller leaves money on the table by not researching and itentifying the item, I'll be glad to put it in my wallet.

Which means that if the OP had a valuable item and didn't try to keyword spam it, they would probably sell it quicker than using spam to try to get it done.

It's actually a selling tactic that I have used successfully on a few occasions in the past. Buy a pile of stuff that has a couple of recognizable valuable items and some other junk and list it generically as an auction showing the valuable stuff in the forground, but not showcasing it and using descriptive words that will get the collectors of the valuable items to look. At the end of the auction you have lots of bids and sell it all for one price you would get after weeks of work.

If unsure about a item you ask a expert in defense of the OP they are early rosemeade in the beginning they used a foil label and later moved to a ink stamp,but a person who knows rosemeade can tell just by the base color of the clay. A handy dandy picker tool to buy unmarked rosemeade for pennies on the dollar for resale... Could a person use Question Mark and the Mysterians in their title?

I know what Karma is but I see no indication of the mistake on a listing I would make that would be wrong that would justfy bad karma coming my way, the OP perhaps but that was NOT what I was discussing.

That's not Karma if nothing bad was done by a seller.

If they did it on purpose, I'd say they deserved each other, and the mutually unpleasant result.

If they did it by not paying attention, I'd again say they deserved each other, and the mutually unpleasant result.
