Why have multiple threads about the same topic ??

Simply because once a thread is over 12 months old with the way policies change over time (not just eBay's policies) the original post can be outdated and bumping them can lead to confusion by members.

CURRENT policies are what matter, not outdated ones. There have been glaring examples of this where threads started many years ago are bumped, and members in the know have to correct the claims or assertions of the new posters.

You are right Padi, old threads should not be bumped as info can be outdated. This one being a prime example. The spam has got WORSE! I looked at something last year on one of my accounts, which was an item mentioned on the forums, where someone wanted help. I am STILL getting search ideas about XYZ item, and new listings, old listings, sold listings, dead people listings. Even clearing out the searched items on the eBay home page doesn't stop it.

Don't get me started on the permanent 20% offer on the big names, like the Good Guys. Enough already! I can get those emails half a dozen times every day. Thank goodness I know how to do bulk delete in the email.
