Ebay pulled my Unknown Cue listing
max06 said:
The dead link above to my original auction titled, " Old unknown cue, Brunswick, Rambo, Martin you decide" has since been identified as being an early Brunswick and was added to the description on Wednesday.
I would have liked to change the title at that time but because there were 3 bids on it at that time, I couldn't.
I thought that just adding to the ad would be enough but low and behold
it wasn't. I am glad I was using Auctiva to list this cue because when Ebay pulled it, nothing from the ad could be retrieved, pictures or text.
Luckily Auctiva still had everything.
Saturday night it was pulled by Ebay because it violated the eBay Keyword Spamming policy. The violation occurred when I included the following information in the listing:
Brunswick, Rambo, Martin
eBay doesn't permit keyword spamming. Sellers can't place brand names or other inappropriate keywords in a title or description to gain attention or direct members to a listing. The listing's searchable text, including the title, needs to relate directly to the item for sale.
Brand Names: Only the brand name used by the company that manufactured or produced an item can be included in a listing.
Custom-made items: Members can list items that look like a recognized brand name product. However, eBay doesn't permit sellers to include that brand name or the name of the product line in the listing.
Celebrity or Artist Names: Although a celebrity, artist, author, or other known figure may have worn or made a similar item popular, you can't use that person's name in a listing unless he or she created, wrote, or officially endorsed the item. It is eBay policy to treat celebrity names like brand names.

Thanks so much to all who have helped to ID this cue.
So here is the new link to the same cue which is without question an old Brunswick.
