I got this on my most recent account...
l l <--- This close to writing the most gnarly rebuttal letter to the asshole who looked over my auction and gave me this:

For real? I looked over the auction again because I saved the format for when I first made it, so I can use it again. There were no spelling errors and any grammatical errors were obviously on purpose. I mean it's a f#$&in' auction not a textbook. The picture was taken in my home made photo setup with very basic white cloth, lights and digital camera. I mean it wasn't professional or anything, but highly on par if not better then most on exhibit if you browsed eB for the same item.
I used 3 sentences to describe the item as well as what was included, shipping terms, all specifications and return policy. I mean people have cell phone pictures uploaded with a single sentence in description and they are selling fine. Same with my other accounts that are selling the exact same item with some that have nearly identical auction formats.
It was such a basic item too, for example a hat. It's a f$%^in hat, here's a picture of it what else do you want to know? Should I describe and explain where and how the cotton was made to make this hat?
It's just ridiculous in my opinion. How can they tell you, the way you want to sell your item is wrong? Eh, guess I just wanted to rant. At least it wasn't a permanent suspension...
