Seller flooding collectibles with an incorrectly categorised item

This seller;is breaking the Ebay listing rules by consistantly listing multiple items (lighting) under Collectibles which BY FLOODING THIS CATEGPORY, causes a great deal of time wastage to buyers who ar genuinely searching for Collectibles and undoubtedly causing problems for genuine sellers by these actions. I have yet to hear of someone "collecting" a new light fitting and this seller knows they are doing the srong thing. If we all did this type of thing Ebay would be in a shambles. So, Collectibles sellers and anone else interested please report this seller otherwise they will continue to flood this category thereby lowering the genuine seller's chances of selling, and making prospective byers lose patience after scrolling through hundreds of non applicable items and giving up. Last time I checked, this seller had listed in running order, 47 pages at 50 iterms per page, obviously to flood others out and draw attention to their items, that has worked but not in the way they anticipated

Really putney?

So you truly don't believe that eBay don't direct lithium or periodically monitor the boards ?

Isn't this interesting tho - apparently putting the name in backets has succeeded in going under the radar

The name in the brackets is not the real name, maybe that's why. It should have a _ as opposed to a - between the words.

ok look at this also check the category

http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/Plants-Seeds-Bulbs-/1509/i.html?_dmd=1&LH_BIN=1&LH_ItemCondition=1000

 

I thought yesterday it may have been by accident but now I'm not so sure. Perhaps they think it's appropriate because of the "bulbs" to list in this category.

They took their sweet time removing it, normally they get edited pretty quickly!
