Argh keyword spammers.

Yes I know I can block them from searches, but it's so annoying. 397 items that have nothing to do with pokemon but they still come up because it says:
Diesel is one of the most searched for Brands on eBay in Clothes shoes and Accessories. It ranks in the top 3 along with River Island and Topshop, above the following; armani , ted baker , pokemon , guess , billabong , vans , asos , rockabilly , top shop , etnies and many more.
I've reported them, several times, ebay have done nothing. :(
This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine
:kisses2: Fiancee of the "lovely" DaveAshton :kisses2:
I am a professional ebay seller. I work hard at my job, I love my job, if you think it's silly that's your problem not mine. :p

    I don't bother searching descriptions, for this and other reasons :)
    I would have reported them too though.

    That "cleverly combined" keyword spam sentence made me laugh. I find it impossible to search in description. Even without keyword spamming it always comes up with all sorts of irrelevant listings where sellers just happened to use a word I'm searching for(not necessarily spamming)
  • I'm a PHd in spamming. :cool:

    Works a treat.
