Good grief, is the word ivory actually banned then??Smiley Surprised

 

I assumed it couldn't possibly be as so many things eg wedding dresses, would be in either white or ivory. I suppose it could be changed to off white but if colour words are being banned it is getting a bit ridiculous.

 

And a listing for lesley Anne Off white wouldn't get the same amount of hits, I'm sure.Smiley Wink

It was a while ago, but the seller was VERY peeved because banning 'Ivory' seemed to be quite random when it came to the artist's name.  Consistency is far from eBay's watchword I guess.

Most are missing the point, its not the word Ivory that has been Banned but when using the words Carved or Carving in any category on any un-related item e.g " Carved Shou bead stone necklace" then the Wildlife Ivory error message comes up and you can't list it!!
