Ah right...am suffering from scattered memory probs....have no idea what it looked like before.

Either that or I have been spending too much time on Farmville.

Yea they are starting to play games on google and I think that needs to stop with a call from an attorney from ebid. Remember a bit ago I found a link on google that was a website called ebid shopping or whatever and took buyer to feebay auctions? I reported it to the boys.

As luck would have it that same day the biggest group of lawyers in Milwaukee took a smaller group to court because of a similiar thing. Was keyword swiping so when the big companie's name was put in, the smaller firms website came up. They had manipulated the keywords to include part of the larger firms name. Case is pending.

Looks like something goofy here too. We should be proud that we have reached a point where we are a power to be dealt with and dirty tricks is the only way to do it.

Google needs a talking to as well.

That's Exactly what I was talkng about deltadelta48
Interesting to know it's not a 'first time only' incident!

Might be worth keeping an eye on though ...

Either I'm getting Old or this sort of thing shouldn't be allowed!

I just tried it, and both "UK eBid" and "eBid UK" bring up ONLY eBid sites. Maybe it's been yanked already?

Did you check out the top (paid for) link. The one at the top of the page, not in the actual lists .. the one Google Wants folks to use as their first choice?

It's been 'pulled' now though ... this side of the Atlantic anyhow.

Hopefully someone on here got that done!

I'm with you deltadelta48.

Just had a quick look and it is still there, as it is a sponsored link they must have paid for it

I'm thinking it's a case for Trading Standards and the Advertising Standards Authority - everyone should file a complaint for misleading advertising.

Remember what the dark side did to PerfumeBay.com in the USA? .... and why?
