| Interesting. This must be a new policy as I have seen several other items listed before in this fashion. I wonder if CGC made some kind of formal complaint to stop this? | ||

| It's because they are CBCS graded comics and he put in (not CGC) to maximize his views... So this team up between eBay & CGC now warrants them the right to pull our sales? BS.... |

Quote:Originally Posted by Gabriel85301 It is against eBay keyword spamming policy https://www.ebay.com/help/policies/listing-policies/search-browse-manipulation-policy?id=4243 eBay does not look for it themselves but they do take actions if someone reports a listing. You have now received an eBay warning. If eBay takes action against you again these are the next strikes 1. 1 day seller suspension 2. 7 days seller suspension 3. 30 days seller suspension 4. Permanent seller suspension Seller suspension means that you cannot upload new / edit existing listings |

| I am being comical and having a good laugh about it. I understand, but eBay should be consistent. I'm just giving people options when they can't afford a CGC 9.8  |

| I sold a CBCS book that had "not CGC" in the title. The buyer accused me of bait and switch lol. Who buys a book with out viewing the scans? Persons excuse was they bought it on their cell phone.... Riiiiiight. | ||

| Personally, I like it when people mention "not CBCS" or "not CGC" in their add. It makes it easier to find all the graded copies, if that's what I'm looking for. Otherwise, I have to use an OR, which is annoying. I did a search for the phrase "not CBCS," and came up with 469 results. "Not CGC" was another ~2200 results. |

GAC private msg quote post Address this user | |
| If CGC is behind this then they're likely just trying to protect their brand. People in the know put CBCS and CGC in their title to maximize views because both grading companies are in good standing (I highly doubt PGX is used in the same way...i.e. not PGX). Kinda like when you're at a restaurant and you order a Coke but they serve Pepsi...they have to ask you if Pepsi is ok. This is a demand made by Pepsi (and Coke going the other way) to demonstrate there's a difference between the two products. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Gabriel85301 you can laugh all you want - but just telling you if someone reports one of your listings again - then next time you will receive a 1 day suspension. once you reach the permanent suspension tier - you will never again be allowed to sell on ebay - that is their policy |

| Huh...I guess it's because it's a brand name. I actually appreciate this when I do my searches so I don't have to do an completely different search. Hmmm, I might have an auction up like this too. | ||

| A discussion on this very subject resulted in the longest and most heated thread I’ve ever participated in on this board. It also resulted in a board member reporting a few of my listings. I don’t agree with the rule, but I understand that I don’t set the rules, either. It isn’t worth a strike on my record. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Gaardagreed .. if searching for "something" I don't want to be confronted with a list of "not something" ... eBay is right to shut it down as it could get out of control with every single product search which would make their platform a hassle for buyers searching for what they want. |

| With EBay owning PayPal and now being in bed with CGC, I can see hurdles to jump in the future for CBCS. | ||

| per wiki....ebay doesn't own paypal. Still I agree with the hurdles in the future statement...."It was announced on September 30, 2014, that eBay would spin off PayPal into a separate publicly traded company, a move demanded in 2013 by activist hedge fund magnate Carl Icahn. The spin-off was completed on July 18, 2015.[50][51][52] Dan Schulman is the current President and CEO, with former eBay CEO John Donahoe serving as chairman.[49] On Jan 31, 2018 eBay announced that, "After the existing eBay-PayPal agreement ends in 2020, PayPal will remain a payment option for shoppers on eBay, but it won’t be prominently featured ahead of debit and credit card options as it is today. PayPal will cease to process card payments for eBay at that time." [53][54] | ||

| Does this mean I can no longer use these "key words" when selling an album?? RARE HTF VHTF MONO STEREO a visual grade - SS/ M / NM / VG+ / VG / P FYI - all of these ARE CONSIDERED "key words" to me, because they too are used by me and I would imagine, many other sellers too, in order to attract business to their channel and products. Now eBay wants to be "SPECIFIC" in their key word selection policy with specific key words? Hmmmm...sounds like a double standard to me. As a seller, this won't go very far if pushed back by sellers. Hmmmm.....interesting topic. |

Quote:Originally Posted by ZosoRocks I thought about this a lot. Those words still describe your item without invoking the name of another company/trademark. Putting CGC in the title or a CBCS listing, does not describe the item. It describes what it isn't and is completely unrelated to the product itself. I, personally, prefer for all slabs to come up when I'm searching for a comic. So, now, i just type in the comic I'm looking for and the grade I'm looking for. Usually catches all the CBCS/CGC/PGX. |
