for the life of me, i can't figure out how someone could ever do a key word search and hit that cool dodge a-100 by chance. if you do "vw"; must be thousands. "campmobile"? maybe 40 things. let's call off the honesty in advertising police. it' just that-- advertising! if you don't want to waste your time, turn off your computer. i actually look through e-bay stuff as amusement. got plenty of time to look at weird mid sixties pop-up sportmobile stuff.

Entity Lucas & Angie Boyer spoke thus:

>Somebody's got too much time on their hands. The reason this mislabeling is not allowed on eBay is that it wastes the

buyers time. The OP entered a search term and an item came up that was not a VW. He obviously didn't feel he had too much time on his hands or he would not have complained. ebay's "Terms of Selling" page explains this. The statements you made in your post are exactly the justifications a seller would use. Maybe you do this kind of thing regularly. Maybe you are the seller!
