Spamming problems ebay Blek 'Space Cowboy', by craigf on Oct 28, 2008 9:43:02 GMT 1, It was pulled for key word spamming. They don't give any warning, just assess whether your auction has anything to do with Banksy etc. and if not its off the bay. I've even had the odd item pulled that was 100% correctly described! Their point is if you are say looking for a bmw you aren't going to be interested in looking at Porsche's so a Porsche with BMW in the title is spamming potential buyers

Spamming problems ebay Blek 'Space Cowboy', by dmandpenfold on Oct 28, 2008 12:57:02 GMT 1, why dont you just sell it as a blek print, why bother with the somewhat obvious spamming, if i want to buy a blek i'll do a search for blek, if i want to buy an "Banksy,SPQR, Paul Insect" i'll do a search for them, being offered a blek instead aint going to get me interested, just annoyed.

Disagree. Spamming does work sometimes. Ive bought a print from years ago that Id totally forgotten about and wouldn't have searched for.
Course I'd never do it myself when selling something

It has always worked with my sales and on some prints will increase viewing' by over ten fold
