At that point, two things happen : [LIST] [*]Lister has option to list anyway or change description [*]If they list anyway, E-bay enforcement people get a tip to check it out[/LIST]Yes, I am aware that there are new "bad" slab companies every day, so E-bay would have to expand their criteria periodically. I am also aware that certain legit strings might LOOK like a bad listing - that is why lister has option to list anyway. Subsequent investigation by e-bay enforcement should exonerate the lister.
