Default Ebay pulling listings for

I saw a mention in this thread about a no-reserve aution not finishing. I don't know if the seller ended the aution or if ebay did, but it struck a nerve.

Here is the thread: https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/showflat...true#Post438534

This past Sunday I had listed some items on eaby. One was a Sun Super Tach. I get a notice the following day form ebay " Listing Removed: Search and Browse Manipulation...
The listing was removed because it violated the eBay Search and Browse Manipulation policy. The violation occurred when you included the following information in your listing:

Ford."

I told how the tach was a known working tach which was tested before removed from a Ford. I guess I could have not included that in the body of my description, but seems a little over the top. I had a few other items pulled for simialr reasons. I might be able to understand if it was in the search title, but in the body of the auction?

I think this hurts sellers and buyers. From a buyers's perspective I am finding it much more difficult to find the really obscure things these days. From the sellers perspective, I am reluctant to put up some obscure item in fear it will have such a limited description that I will nto get the number of viewers to trule get the market value.

Has this been discussed recently? Anyone else have a problem with this? Is there going to be a rival site to ebay?
