    Default Today's Site Update Notification...Possible Add to a BugFix?

    Was looking over the Site Update Notification that Gazza posted today...one of which was:

    UPDATE - Added word restrictions Ltd, PLC, GmBH, Inc etc for eBid Store titles

    Gazza, I would suggest that you add a restriction for the use of .com I've seen many, many stores with that in their title, which almost always follows their own website URL...just thinking!.........Thanks for all you do!

    Think it would come under the 'etc'

    Ltd isn't changed

    Please note that I am changing store title on each test of title so some links will not work as the store may no longer exist

    Google Shopping have been having a crackdown on store titles and usernames, they don't like Ltd or LLC etc in the title. Info has been added to FAQ

    I think what I'm trying to say is I've seen both sellers and store names using what they think is a 'work-around' not using their own website URL....such as

    XYZ .com (notice the space between Z and . which breaks a potential live link)

    XYZdotcom (cute)

    XYZ dot com

    Anyway, just my opinion.
