Wow, you counted all those words? How long did it take?
We talked about this auction in another thread. Someone figured with such a low feedback that their other ID was NARU and started again because they knew how to keyword.

Now to add to my previous post.
In eBay search I put in my hometown to see if anything was listed checked the box to add search in titles and descriptions and guess what came up. The auction that you started this thread with. Go figure.

Here in Oregon, it's business as usual on rainy days - otherwise we would never work, lol

LOL.... is this kind of "keyword" listing allowed by ebay? I am amazed how creative some people get, the human mind is incredible. The internet has certainly opened my eyes to how much imagination is out there... its great.. LOL
ahc3 has the right idea. Those of us with "web feet", also referred to as "mossy backs" do everything in the rain. We cut our lawns, rack our leaves, play team sports and our wardrobes always include rubber boots and plastic jackets.

Heck No! I didn't count all of them. LOL
I Copied his/her looooooong list to my Word program then used Tools>Word Count to count them for me. (This only takes a few seconds to do and comes in handy when you want to make sure your Auction Title does not exceed 45 spaces. We work on rainy days too

Well, all words are removed from her other auctions. I wonder how long it took to type all of that? Geesh. . .must not have much of anything else to do.
If it isn't documented, it was never done!

Does it stay in the ebay search even after they are removed? I know it takes a few hours to get into the search but do they get removed right away or will the search keep finding it?

Probably decided to write out all the words she could spell~seems like a lot but really isn't LOL!
I saw condoms on there. Are they really big business on ebay? Perhaps I shouldn't ask!

You shouldn't ask...LOL I was searching on Ebay motors for an Oil Pump for a classic Grand Wagoneer and boy did I run into offensive auctions run by a power seller. Lots of weirdos out there....
