EBAY getting even more insane ?

listed some stuff on fleabay, one of the items was my tp-link 300mb router, & ebay removed the listing for breaching t&c`s, i looked back through the listing to see what they didn`t like & couldn`t see anything wrong, looked back through the email telling me they removed it & there reaseon was "spamming" :/ apparently spamming was me using the term

"as new"

in the listing. thing is, it is as new, & i still put it under the section "used" & clearly stated that i`d used it for a while :/ is i me or are they nuts

it does seem a bit silly, but I guess you could argue, it`s another example of them protecting the seller, after complains of ppl receiving items advertised "as new" which clearly aren`t.

i.e. other sellers abusing the system. if I see something adverted "as new" i expect it to be fairly new, in a1 condition, all packaging, manuals etc

I`m not suggesting you do, but others think "as new" = "working" :(

How about describing it as "box fresh" :D

But doesn`t `as new` mean just that, `as new` meaning it`s `as new` but not quite new.
I was selling some DVD`s on preloved and said in my ad that I had `copies` of so-and-so and whathaveyou etc etc and they blocked my ad because they thought they were copies.
