another hilarious thing about the "contact / links policy" violations which are popping up is that crazylister, who are now a partner of ebay's with listing templates, have embedded links in their listing HTML which makes the listings come up as violating the policy.

i am a paid subscriber of crazylister (i got a good deal ages ago, wouldn't pay the ridiculous prices they charge now) and just find this unfathomable. surely if you're going to put this in place, you'd alert these people in due time to make the necessary changes / modifications.

once again - not much thought into the implementation / execution of this policy change.

This is absolute bullship eBay! Theres no way in hell i will be manually editing every single add I have. You take enough of my money, yet you still want more. Just close my store instead.  Fwucking knobs!
