[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 1635488, member: 27832"]Not to go personal or negative here, but I kind of wish you wouldn't do that. As a buyer, I want to see auctions that [I]actually[/I] match my search terms. I frequently search for the word "lot", doing a kind of cherry-picking -- looking for lots that contain high-value coins not explicitly mentioned in the description. If your single coins show up in my search results because they all include the keyword "lot", you're not putting your auctions in a good light. At best, I'll skip past your coins, grumbling about people who think "one" is a "lot"; at worst, if I'm already in a bad mood, I might report a couple of the auctions for "search and browse manipulation". Putting in [I]unrelated[/I] keywords to drive searchers to your auctions IS against eBay policy. Again, nothing personal against you or your auctions. It's not like you're in danger of "losing me as a customer" anyhow; your stuff is in an area of specialization that I haven't approached yet, and I generally can't set my sights on anything quite that nice yet. But please do be considerate of those of us who [I]aren't[/I] (yet) your customers.[/QUOTE]
