Does it drive you crazy too?

[skinz78]

I watch for certain items on Ebay and when I do a search for a Fungia I get titles like "Acan Scoly Chalice SPS Zoa Fungia" and the item is actually a Zoa... This drives me nuts, anyone with me on this one?

 

[IPisces]

LOL yeah.....they want to make sure everyone sees it, whether they are looking for it or not.

LET'S NOT POINT FINGURES HERE!YOUR OPINION IS WLECOME,BUT LETS NOT BRING NAMES INTO IT!
THANKS

It drives me crazy as a buyer..but when I sell coral, it makes sense because you want as many "key words" as possible to get attention.

I'm with ya. I quit trying to search specific corals because of that. And to be honest I have almost completely stopped looking at Ebay because of it. I just want to look at what I search for not the whole 14,000 coral listings...........

It's to much of a pain to order corals from eBay So I don't even look....Lol

It does suck, but it does what it's intended to. Advertise to the widest audience. I've given up on E-bay and rely on a select few places that I REALLY trust.

yea it annoys me, but I've had some really good experiences on ebay, which is surprising hearing from a few of ya. I've dealt with several sponsors who run ebays, never had a problem, and some non-sponsors and also have had great experiences.

Maybe I should join the club saying I had horrible experiences so there'd be less competition on my bids :tongue:

I've had good and bad experiences.

I have yet to buy coral on ebay, but I do agree about the search words being a pain.

never and dont ever plan to

never and dont ever plan to

not to derail thread, but why the never planning to?

 

[SDguy]

I personally can't imagine what you could possibly find on ebay that you couldn't find on one of these sites like R2R. That's why I usually don't use ebay.

 

[FishScale]

.....no. I dont buy online

If you see it report the auction. Its called title spamming and its against eBay rules. It is very irritating to search for a certain species and everything but what you are looking for comes up.
Again, report the auction and the sellers will stop posting that way.
