We already know that Ebay is stupid enough to
automatically cancel things on the basis of key
words. The thing I find really low is that these
auctions are obviously not individually cancelled
by someone, they're cancelled in bulk by the
system - and yet, they'll happily take your money
to list the item without warning you that you've
used a no-no word.
The word "hentai" could be next, it just depends
on who bitches about what and which bitching gets
noticed. Don't think there aren't a bunch of uber-
strict moms out there with too much time on their
hands who are personally trying to make Ebay
"safer" for their youngsters. ~_~ I'm sure that's
where 90% of these regulations all come from.
The really ridiculous thing is that by Ebays
rules, you have to be an adult to bid on Ebay. And
yet, they feel like they need to create an
atmosphere safe for *kids*. Think about that. . .
