    Im not sure if this is the reason that Shawn's eBay page was dropped from google, but the exact copy of the first paragraph, page title, etc is here:

    http://www.mia.net/ebay/ebay.html

    and the kicker- its our member "mia" doing it.

    Schlottke, I don't think he is the only one doing it too. I've seen a few e-bay pages like shawn's but cannot remember the URL's.. one of the pages is on the first page, but appears to have links from the co-op network.

    You'll find that with most things - people see someone is making good money, and copy it...

    There's at least 2 others using the exact same text.

    Seen some idiots in my day but this takes the cake :mad:

    I do not think this would have a bit to do with Shawn's page, eBay and Google are very close and they got into a keyword dispute where affiliates were using the ebay keyword to buy Adwords and ebay did something about this.

    You notice that most of those listings are now all ebay corporate on that first page.
