You can't expect anyone to read anything. Even the document that says "I've read an I agree" doesn't mean they've read or that they do agree, actually.

Where are those texts located? I just see a buch of words at the bottom of a search page sometimes, where it says something like "That's what other users were searching for in this specific category" and then it goes on listing all kinds of useless junk like for example 'PC, computer, amd, intel, wireless' if we're talking about a search in the computers category. I never really understood what exactly that's supposed to do there? does ebay think that users actually benefit from a collection of what seems to be randomly selected old search queries performed by somebody else in the same item category?
But other than that, eBay is great! Mr. Green

Everybody keyword spams anyway. Makes the search feature almost worthless. Sad

"New HP Computer! Not Dell, Not Gateway, Not Compaq!

I've never looked for an HP computer, dell, gateway or compaq specifically so they can't get me with keyword spamming Smile

Well, the solution is so simple. Type your search, then -not to ignore finds with "not" in title

E: Burrotron Computer -not will avoid:

Plain Stone Not H bomb not nokia not piano not submarine not hope diamond not Jimmy Hoffa not burrotron not computer.
