Really Sideshow?

[generalzodlives]

I can't believe anyone gives a ----. I just picture people acting like they're under a time crunch to find something with a little countdown clock in the corner. Find what you want in 30 seconds or miss out on it forever! If only there weren't extra listings in this search!

Personally, I've never searched for something on eBay and been mad about what pops up. I've never done a search and been mad that someone put "NOT ____ " in the title. Sometimes I've found some cool stuff that I wasn't looking for/didn't know about on some searches, but most of the time I scroll past without throwing a fit.

Out of all of eBay's policies to ----- about, this falls at the bottom of my list.

I still can't figure out why Sideshow would care about these kinds of listings. Not sure why ebay would care either. I would think they'd want to get as many listings in front of buyers as possible.

You guys sound like used car salesman trying to defend a practice of trying to trick people into seeing your ad, where's the honesty?!?

I’m not defending it, I get that people find it annoying I just don’t understand what eBay has to gain from it other than a slightly more accurate search result. Why Sideshow would even be involved at all in this type of listing escapes me.

I think putting "not" something in your advertisement is a deceptive practice although creative in beating the search engine. It is a good thing to have such things removed. My 2 cents.

Haha, do you work for sideshow, or are you just trying to argue a point? I've NEVER listed anything that way, I was simply taking up for the other person, if you dont like seeing extra things in your search I'm sorry, but I think it's not a big deal, your just trying to get people to see your listing, which is exactly what the original poster said they were doing because it had been listed forever, and what's annoying as f**k? a different opinion? Because guess what I dont care, I have to read your annoying replies, so get over yourself, theres no axe to grind, if you actually read my post I made it pretty clear, you SHOULD NOT try to scam people or sideshow, however just hoping a few extra people see your listing is not a big deal, some of you take this stuff WAY too seriously, this isn't theft or murder JESUS! I'm done, please feel free to educate me again on YOUR opinion, because I dont give a f**k

It falls under junk mail, spam, and robo calls. All annoying just some more than others.

I'm guessing Sideshow doesn't want people to misread it or not notice the "not" in the title and think the statue is actually a Sideshow piece...
