Thread: Does Anyone know why it does this?

  1. #1

    Default Does Anyone know why it does this?

    since i started listing on here i have seen some of my auction titles have spaces in the middle of some words and originally thought it was me perhaps typing too fast or something and my fingers doing strange things lol

    but over the last few days i've been double checking it and it STILL does it! i know now it's not me as today i listed 12 Various Christmas Toppers-Snowflake-Tr ees-Holly-Sta but when i went to list similar item the previous title is there and it reads 12 Various Christmas Toppers-Snowflake-Trees-Holly-Star. Is anyone else getting this?? am i doing something to cause this or is it something that needs looking at by the staff?

    thanks for any help with this

    P.s i'm not complaining tho as i've noticed these titles get more views lol!!

    It's the stream of letters with no spaces that cause the problem. eBid breaks excessively long 'words' for some reason. If you replace the dashes in Toppers-Snowflake-Trees-Holly-Sta.... with spaces (Toppers Snowflake Trees Holly Sta...) or add in spaces (Toppers; Snowflake; Trees; Holly; Sta...) the problem will go away.

    Always use spaces to separate words. Hyphenated words will be indexed as such and indivdually won't be searchable.
