What the heck?

I ended up listing it with spaces between the letters of the word cookie. So it looks like c o o k i e s. Funny, but it worked. I talked with Live Help and she was NO Help.

Sorry I had to laugh at your comment. Its so true their C/S is awful. I often find you ask a simple question and your are sent a generic response that doesnt go any way to answer the question you raised. Not so funny is the fact they charge so much for using the service when Customer Service or any actual service is often a waste of your time. Soz, having a bit of a gripe today with Ebay. I'm a little upset they want me to verify my credit card or bank account in paypal before allowing me to list branded items internationally. I've withdrawn money and have my card on the site to make payment, surely this verifies my identity? I've never had an issue with this before, I been a good honest ebay member for around 5-6years, always sold off our 2nd hand designer gear through them and all of a sudden I'm not trustworthy. Seems odd though that if it was counterfeit I'm still allowed to sell in my own country?? Doesn't make much sense? My only presumtion here is that to do being able to prosecute for counterfeits wothin country borders? And all the time I feel there charges are very unfair considering there is little human interaction from their side. I sure their bank balance is very healthy. Am I right in thinking that they topped the charts for profits several years running? That probably doesnt include all the paypal profit either. Don't get me started on that!

I tried doing it in Firefox and IE and neither one worked. I ended up just putting spaces between the letters for now. It was letting other people use the word, so I don't know why it was not letting me.

They have things that are prohibited and restricted, but yes you can sell food. I have seen low carb, but I have not seen vegan cookies on there.
