Friggin new shit they have in Ebay, this site just gets wore and worse.

Just discovered that after their updates, you can not put certain information into questions for the seller.

I just tried to ask a seller if his muffler was a 2.5" inlet, or a 3" inlet, and it rejected this question, because I am not allowed to have HTML code, an Asterix, or quotes.

After trying to review my question, I realised the stupid site was thinking I was trying to quote " inlet, or a 3", so after changing my wording and punctuation, it finally worked.

How crap, you can not refference "inches" in the normal simple common way, you now have to stuff around.

And to bad if you want to reference a company name that actually has an asterix in it, such as N*Power, because THIS WONT BE ACCEPTED, bah I think ebay will soon have it's own special code for shit you want to ask, with pre-programmed drop-down crap to select from.

It is annoying, but there's more important things to worry about than having to write "inchs" instead of "

True, but if I get my bitching out of the qway early in the morning, I am a happy import driver for the rest of the day :)

I think you will find thats its too stop a hacking method called sql injection where you modify the sql query to bypass login scripts and retrieve information.

The method relies heavily on quotation marks. So ebay simply wrote a checking script to prohibit quotation marks.

Well. thats my guess anyways. 8)
