[peel] ebay listing removal

[Skip Shaw]

Put a price on your listing.  You certainly can sell advice.  Put a ridiculous price on it, like $100, so no one really purchases.

 

If there is a price, the bots won’t find it.

 

You will just have to put an end date on it and remember to repost.

 

I think that will work.  Anyone else?

Subject: [peel] ebay listing removal

 

  

Some of you know that for several years now I've had a perpetual listing on ebay which esentially warns people away from paying for mp3s of the shows we have been ripping and sharing for free

 

There are still a couple of sellers who list everything we share for sale (and even claim that the show are from their own tapes..) and people do buy DVDs from them

 

Today I finally had my listing removed from ebay and a warning that I have breached their rules, by making a listing that sells nothing.

 

Meanwhile these other accounts seem to be able to profit from our work and ebay don't care (they take a cut of every sale after all..)

 

I'm at a loss as to what more we can do, but any suggestions welcome
