Keywords & Unintended Consequences

When you sign up for the bot you can enter keywords to limit the items that the bot buys for you. For example, ‘Anime’ and ‘Beads’ are popular keywords. Without any keyword, the bot just buys random items for you.

Before selecting keywords it is worth taking a look on eBay to see what turns up. Sometimes the results are surprising. For example, the keyword ‘Awesome’ frequently returns old stamps used by the Nazis. If there are some items you would like to avoid, just include negative keywords when you sign up. Put a minus sign in front of any negative keywords (i.e. -nazis). Or you can email me directly at alexander@bobcatinabox.com and I will update your profile.
