Great feature and have always wanted it, but now we'll see cheeky posts with random tag words in the for sale add to gain post views. For example:

Thanks Fred! I am always impressed with and greatful about the amount of work you put into this site and the attention you give to the wonderful community you have gathered here.

Cheers!

Hi Sebastian,
Yes, it's possible that members may add random keywords to their subject lines in order to get more views on their listings. However, members may feel tricked and report the thread to me. If the behavior continues, I may have to step in and lock the thread or seller account.

Great as long as your a member of Upload and Sell, If your not a member and are still just looking it puts you at a bit of a disadvantage doesn't it ?

That's sort of the point. More advantages to being a Buy & Sell subscriber.

Personally, I wouldn't buy from a seller who did that anyway.

This sounds like a great feature.

I personally prefer to look for items located in Canada. When looking at a subject title, people typically type:

<CAN>
(CAN)
(Can/US)

...etc. One would then assume a good keyword for me in the watchlist might be:

Keyword 1: CAN

... since there is no standard method of adding brackets or slashes, I'd just ad "CAN". With that said, would this new feature send me anything and everything with "Canon" in the title ? Is there a way to tweak this feature to accommodate particular locations like Canada ? Forgive me if I sound like one of those unappreciative 'thank you but gimme more' people, I'm not trying to be that way. If can be done, great, if not, no problem ... either way, as soon as I've submitted this post, I'll be renewing my 'buy/sell' subscription.

Thanks Fred !

What an interesting observation; could be applied to states too, ie (CA),(NY),(VA), (FL) etc

I think we should put a suggested format for posting lenses and camera bodies then. Something like "35mm" vs. "35 mm" and "f/2.8" instead of "F2.8" or "35/2.8" then.

A suggested format would be nice.

Maybe when people are selling items, can do a drop down menu (like selecting "Nikon" > "Lens" > "name of the lens")?

And offer a "not listed" section for any item not listed? Would take a bit more time for the people listing, but could sort everything more easily and efficiently, possibly.
