One of the more creative eBay spammers...

[Bonds25]

This guy needs to be turned in. Where's that link?

 

Reported for what? It's a creative way to get people to look at his auctions, and he isn't breaking any rules.

Highlight the whitespace below the paragraph that NotMH mentioned. Its pretty slick.

 

OK, just read it. Report away!

Beg to differ; eBay actually does have a rule about this:

 

Key word listings

 

In part:

Examples of keyword spamming that are not permitted:

 

Hidden HTML text. Sellers may include hidden text (for example "white on white") or source tags (meta or header tags), however such text may not include keywords unrelated to the item listing or to promote your other items. Keywords "hidden" within the title, description or through other means are not allowed. Such deliberate attempts at keyword spamming may result in suspension without prior warning.

 

I say, "Get rida tha bum!"

And he places it right below the "Integrity First..." blurb. Unbelieveable.

 

I sorta see the Ebay folks crowding around their monitors going, "I don't see anything wrong, you?". "Nope, not me George". "Okay Fred, enough of this, let's go back to www.ratemybutt.com (it's under construction so don't bother going and no, it's not my site), we've got butts to rate."

 

Though I wouldn't have seen it either.

That's a great catch Chuck.......how did you figure it out....was it deductive reasoning based on the fact that it kept coming up in searches where the search words weren't visible on his page?

 

How did you know to try looking for invisible words?

I was going to say the same.

Great catch!

5 stars!........ Oh wait!

It was actually a moment of extreme laziness. I didn't feel like moving my mouse all the way to the right side of the page to scroll down. So I just clicked and dragged all the way down the screen.

Hey CompleteRunComics...you stole my avatar....

Hey if you check some of his later auctions they use to have the same thing. He has been changing them...I wonder if its because I emailed him and told him that ebay was on to him and if I was him I would change them before they cancel his account...
