I have indeed - in fact I had the first removal for keyword spamming just yesterday.

Pretty sure nearly all keyword spamming removals are reported by competitors.

Using a lot of keywords, specifically for what you're selling in titles and descriptions in hopes to increase your search rankings.

i.e using the word NIKE in your title when your selling ADIDAS. So when someone searches for anything with "NIKE" your listing will show in the Nike section, giving more exposure to your "ADIDAS" listing ;) 2 categorys for the price of 1 basicaly.

I was hit for keyword spamming for using the term "like new" in my listing. Once I took that term out and replaced it with "gently worn" I could relist the item.

If you put the keyword only during hours ebay is not open, then take it off, would that work?

Ebay has people working 24-7 365.

They do not have banker hours.

that is 100% false. if you are using a companies keywords they automatically report you. they want nothing to do with false accusations or ⊗⊗⊗⊗ items.

Funny that someone believes eb and pp has bankers hours.

Then again you cannot ever get a hold of them when you need them.

Got this as well today, my listing wasn't taken down tho. They just asked me to revise it.

Probably competitor or some lunatic buyer who lowballed me and never got a response.
