Crack in the record

Maybe someone still remembers this from shellac or vinyl days: A scratch on the record would make the needle jump back to the previous groove, and that part would then repeat over and over. 

Specific example: While looking for FPJ-20 ink cartridges, I came across the seller Tito-Express. There I had searched for more variants. Ebay then dutifully reports "3 results", only to then show this stuff 34 times.

Hello @hjsfg_1 

 

I entered FPJ20 and found this seller too - so what now?

 

- Yes, he has listed them very often - always with a different device name.

- Yes, that’s annoying - but also kind of smart, because many buyers specifically search for their device.

- Yes, that’s somewhat questionable when it comes to listing the same item multiple times.

- No, I don’t think eBay will change anything about that.

 

You can report each individual item if you have the time and feel like it and if it gets you anything!

I think there are more urgent problems - the many quasi-commercial sellers, for example!

> And what is your question to the community?

 

Why doesn’t the reported number match the one shown?

And maybe also: Is that always the case?
