In your title or description did you say something like "not zenith
transoceanic", or "not like zenith transoceanic"? If so, that is keyword
spaming so that when someone searches on zenith transoceanic they get a
hit on your set which is not a zenith T/O, which is pretty sneaky at
best.

No I just said Hallicrafters World Wide Like Zenith TO. I wasn't trying to
be sneaky. Its Hallicrafters version of the TO. Hallicrafters are just as
poular as Zenith and sell them selves on their own merit. I just stated it
because a lot of people like to collect the differant makes of those style
radios. I can see how some would use tactics like that though.

As far as the paypal thing, how would you like it if every time
you use your visa or mastercard the merchant adds the credit card
percentage he pays to the price of the product. Bet you would really
scream.

They do you just don't realize it. They just average out their overhead and
reflect it back into the price of their products.

Ebay makes it very plain in their rules about the above
infractions so you really have no reason to cry.

I'm not crying. Just talking and seeing peoples responses. I don't disagree
with you guys. If thats how people feel then I'll go with it.


Why should the merchant
be gouged for having a convient way for you to pay?

I agree. That was my point?

I don't mean any offense, Brian, but the TO gang are a severe bunch.
Any radio nowadays that has a handle on top gets to be a TO clone or
companion model just by rights of appearing to be a similar suitcase
radio because well, they have a handle on top.
I personally have no affinity for radios with handles on top but many do
and they can be cutthroat when their favorite is compared to some other
'lesser' radio with a handle on top.

Been there already.

I figure some wacko pegged you on the quasi-TO thing plus the Paypal
issue and some 19 year old kid in San Jose was pressed for a decision
and he did what any idiot would do.

Relist the thing and up the minimum by 2.90 so as to cover your Pal Pay
and hide the word "zenith" well inside the text so the TO guys won't be
offended.

Don't put it in your title. Put it in your description. When you put
it in your title, and some whiny do-gooder or, someone selling the
same item who hates your competition sees it, the can report it as
keyword spamming, and ebay will pull your ad. It's important to
realize that Ebay never finds these on their own, they only become
aware of them when some loser reports them. Then they pull them.

And is this really a problem? Is there any skin off you nose? Why does
this concern you? I do this all the time because if I list a radio
widget under it's proper area maybe I'll miss half the people looking
for a radio widget. I list under old radio antique and any other name
that would be proper. More internet cops we don't need and I certainly
don't need you acting like one. Let eBay police the real crooks. The
people that steal money from people by misrepresentation or simply not
sending a paid for item. Lets not worry about the little things but
always give negative feedbacks for any non payer. Give good feedback
where it's due also.

Just curious

Sorry, I did get a little carried away and you certainly weren't
acting like an internet cop. I just get a little passionate about
these things. Too many people worried that I may bend the exact
meaning of a poorly written rule. Again, I do apoligize to you and
sincerely regret my comments.
