I thought it was kind of anal too, but ebay pulled one of my auctions for using the word "not" in the heading. They have a list of no-no words (not, like, similar to, resembles) They called it spamming. But they DID send me a notice why it was pulled.

It was listed under Camaro in cars for sale section, not as parts, which is the reason it was pulled.

I get it. But why is that cause to pull the auction?
I would assume they could just move it - WHO CARES WHERE
IT IS! I care what it is.

Besides, the high dollar figure on this auction should
have told ePay that it had a following. Why cancel it?
Sort of self defeating I think. Just my .02

I believe the seller may still have to pay a listing fee based on his reserve. Ebay still wins.

Don't bitch about Ebay. It all could have been avoided by listing it in the parts for sale section.

I thought it was deleted due to head shadow.

The car section where the parts were listed is a flat fee catagory. You pay a $40.00 insertion fee - regardless of reserve and a $40.00 final value fee regardeless of the final price if the vehicle sells.

In the parts catagories you pay a fee based on your starting bid and a fee on your reserve based on that amount. Then if the item sells you pay a final value fee which is in the case of these ZL-1 parts would be a stepped fee.

I can tell you that e-Bay would have gotten a ton more money than $40.00 for the listing under the parts section and if the engine had sold, they would have made a pile more money than $40.00 for the final value fee.

If you are a seller don't mess with e-Bay and its fees. It is something that they are darned crappy about.

Just a quick word of warning regarding eBay's value fees.They can add up so do the math. I listed a ZL-1 427 and a 69 M-22 on eBay a month or so back with a buy it now only price of 25,500.00 The listing fee was 7.25. I thought, that's cheap. It sold the next day. However, the value fee has 399.00. "Ouch" 1.56% didn't sound like much until I did the math.
