Chook n Boo Mum Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 .....at what point did this item warrant having "eglu" in it's title...... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Hen-House-chicken-run-coop-henhouse-eglu-large-ark_W0QQitemZ170330747108QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Pet_Supplies_Poultry?hash=item170330747108&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1683|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318|301%3A1|293%3A1|294%3A50 It's bad enough having to block all egg boxes and labels without getting wooden coops popping up too ....or am I just being crabby ?

Sheilaz Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 It's wrong & has now been reported. I think it's called keyword spamming, when a brand name is used to draw people to an unconnected item. Not allowed on ebay, but obviously some people try it. You're not crabby, you're right to be cross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiggerlady Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Such elegance,smooth lines,designer styling..how could it not be an eglu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I hate it when people do that. I have saved searches for things like Monsoon skirt in my size, and the amount that come up that are not Monsoon! Grrrr I don't like to set too many restrictions on searches, as people put their items in all sorts of catagories, but it drives me mad!

Chook n Boo Mum Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 ...and now there's an incubator coming up with omlet on it!!! Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I had a look as it said it had been revised. On the 11th the title was revised. Well, as it wasn't revised properly, I have informed ebay too. I didn't realise you could do this. A few years ago, I had a cat flap up for auction. After a few days, I had a look through to see what else was happening in the ebay cat flap world, and lo and behold, there was another one identical to mine! So I had a look at the listing and thought gosh, the photos are exactly the same as mine. They've even got a table with a scratch the same as mine! So I dropped her a polite message asking her to please remove my photos otherwise I would be letting ebay know. She was most apologetic and sorted them out straight away. People are so very cheeky.
