I used the worded term "OK-ish", to describe - in my answered feedback - an item that I recently purchased on site. I was pulled up by eBay, accused of swearing. I've never sworn at anybody on site. Not once. Not ever and, I never will. I'd like to think that I am able to acquit myself and get my point across, without having to rely on vulgarities or, abusive terminologies. What I'd like to know from the community is, is using the term "OK-ish", a vulgar, explitive and offensive wording or descriptive phrase?

it wasn't okay - ish that was the problem

 

 

I assume the next word was it

 

 

okay - ish it

 

was the problem

OK ish wouldn't be wrong on its own but what words did you put after it? 

 

If you typed the 'ish' bit and followed it up with the word 'it' say, then the two words put together might make a swear word.

 

Ebay uses bots to pick up words, they don't bother with spaces or context, they will just prevent you from sending it.
