During my normal Prelude eBay searches every day these pictures of random nothing keeps coming up.
Is it annoying any one else? I've sent the seller a few messages and nothing has changed.
The seller is "ukpartsdeal"

It's really getting on my tits now because there is literally loads! :evil:

Yeah I noticed them today. One with two red chillies or something in the pic and one was supposedly a listing for a steering wheel and boss according to the title, but was a listing for the same wiring harness :roll:

It's purely the fact there's loads of stuff like this one example. Is there any way it can be reported? It shouldn't be allowed really.

This is standard practice sadly. Although the reason is not obvious at first.

For seo purposes, the seller doesnt want to lose their unique url which is building up rank in google. If they go out of stock they dont want to cancel the listing and lose the url, they just put the price sky high and/or change the picture in the hope no one will buy it.

You can thank google and various seo houes for these kind of antics.

Also ebay is the worst kind of place for keyword spamming descriptions and titles. Fascinating and annoying all at the same time
