What does eBay do about keyword spam if I report it?
This picture features neither Daleks nor Cybermen, yet it and literally hundreds of others come up when I search for Dalek in the Art section. They are all from the same seller. I consider this an abuse of the system and it makes the search essentially unusable, because I don't want to wade through over 800 items looks for the ones that actually fit my criteria. Therefore, genuine and honest sellers are losing out. Why is this allowed to continue?
"...does eBay actually do anything about it?"
Yes, Ebay most certainy does, once they're made aware of it. You do this by using the 'Report' button (there's one on every listing) and selecting the relevant reasons from the dropdowns:
Listing practices.
Search and browse manipulation.
Keyword spamming.
