something under the wrong category then your listing privelages should be revoked.
Type in a model of firearm, say M1a, category is semi auto rifles... And somehow magazines show up mixed in amongst the results. I wasnt looking for mags, had I been I wouldve clicked on the mag category.
And another thing; the whole 'NOT' BS ie: 'not Colt FAL M1a...' should have the same punishment. Aggrevating horse **** is what is.

Wrong category while annoying I can live with. The 'NOT' BS is actually prohibited but selectively enforced on some other auction sites.
annoying as hell especially when trying to look at completed auctions
Some items mighe even sale in 3 or 4 category
I though that you were PROPOSEING to Don.
Edit to say: Oops, I THOUGHT I posted that in green, but it apparently didn't "take" the first time. It was meant as humor.
I propose that if you consistently misspell words like "consistently" and "aggravating" your posting privileges ought to be revoked.
would't be any fun with only two members posting
When I do a search and "NOT Colt" and a plethora of other BS clutters up my search results because some twit is playing the search engine, I report the auction to GB support, but Im only one person, and GB Support is still overewhelmed with more important issues right now.
What do you do when you get * around by one of these listings?
If everyone that is fed up with having their search results hammered and their time wasted with useless items they are not looking for, report it to support...again, GB Support is swamped right now but sooner or later they will get caught up and respond to these sellers dilluting the search results with the "Not Colt/Stag/Spikes/Magpul/DPMS, etc etc".

It has gotten worse, a LOT worse since the noob sellers have hit, they only bother to read some of the listing rules, just enough to get by and what the fees are.
Join in and help when you find an auction perverting the search criteria, dont just snivel about it, it's your GB too...[;)]
