This has me stumped.

I've relisted an expired auction, and Yahoo has inserted the following info that CAN'T be edited:

Brand: Jim Beam
Condition: Acceptable
Crap: Jack Daniels
Denom: Half Cent
Obverse condition: Fair
Reverse condition: Fair

http://auctions.yahoo.com/auction/95921911

Anyone else having the same problem?

Yes I have. I found that you have to start with a fresh listing and use a slightly different catagory to get rid of that garbage. I had that happen about the same time they changed to the pay per click ads that show up in our listings now. Yahoo still has not responded about the problem.

That is strange. How are you listing to the site? The the Yahoo page, bulk-uploading or what?

And what is "Crap" an abbreviation of?

I'm relisting closed auctions that were previously bulk uploaded.

I've searched other people's listing, and it seems there is a lot of other auctions with same or similar info included in the listings.

I'm guessing that Yahoo might be building an item database similar to Google's Base, and they haven't worked out the bugs yet. But that's just a guess.

It seems weird that "crap" is one of the descriptive fields for the added info.
