    Ebay problems...

    It's about two days I'm trying to put some RS2 parts for sale on ebay but the system doesn't allow me to write RS2 on the title.
    Any other thing but RS2. It always says that it is forbidden to sell "virtual" items, software or other junk like that.

    What the f***k !!

    Anyone with a clue?

    Thanks

            Before selling through ebay I'm posting a thread in the "For sale section". Already posted some. You missed them, dude... Anyway more to come but the most interesting are gone (turbo, EM, Injectors,.....).

            Thanks for the advice guys, but the problem is any writing other than RS2 wil not give result when searching for "Audi RS2" parts, some of which, as we all know, are much more desirable compared to S2. This is going to limit dramatically visibility of the auction

            Need to find another way.
            Strange thing is I had the RS2 turbo+EM+injectors sold through ebay last week with no title problems ....


            Really dunno how to manage this

              Might I suggest that all of you selling via eBay email them and explain the problem.

              If they receive multiple emails, they might grasp the situation, especially if you hit them where it hurts....in the commercials

              By that I mean, explain that by selling as S2 items they are worth less than when sold as RS2 items. That way, they will understand that they are getting a smaller %

              Just a thought

              Cheers n

                It searches on keywords in the title so if it's listed as Audi S2 then RS2 as a seperate word it's still picked in the search for audi rs2

                    Jamo, in no form it allows me writing down RS2 by itself. If I write AudiRS2 with no space then it works, but this kind of word won't be taken into account when searching "RS2".

                            Exactly.....

                            As long as I find buyers here among our S2Forum friends everything is fine. But there are quite a lot of parts probably of not too big interest here, I would like to sell instead of throwing them in a brakeyard...

                              I've sent an email to ebay, i'd advise everybody that uses on here does the same.

                              Post it on any other related audi site and lets spam them in submission.
