u dont know how ebay works do you..
false advertising is not permitted on ebay. but there is no rule against putting another products name in the search function of the title. if they are the same category, why not? It wil help sell the product faster.

This thread should be locked cause it has no revelance whats so ever. Making fun of a guy selling window wiper blades on ebay, and now the guy who wants to get them. how immature can you get.

Oh of course not... I dont know how something as terribly complicated as ebay works..... ok, sorry for the sarcasm, but it was too easy

I dont see in ANY way how misleading a consumer is a good idea. I like to use a little thing called ethics in my business dealings.

But, in this case we are simply laughing at the whole "JDM' idiocracy. People will slap JDM on anything and others will buy it. Sorry it offends you so much that we think that is hilarious.

Exactly... people are just using a "craze" to sell stupid crap. It's funny. Though maybe not as funny to anyone with an xA or xB because there actually are JDM items... since they have japanese counterparts. The tC does not... so anyone trying to sell something using "JDM" and "tC" is either an idiot (like most probably are) or just abusing teminology.

This thread will not be locked... b/c it's funny. I'm sorry if it may offend you, but it's quite humorous.

Question, if the tC was not orignally relased in Japan FIRST, how can it be considered JDM? I thought JDM stood for Japanese Domestic Market. I guess I'm wrong again.

WTF?
Now you guys are confusing the issue again. Some of those air fresheners ARE JDM:



It's the ones with the predominantly Emglish labels that may not be...

Heh... I'll give you that one... but it's still funny to see something as lame as an air freshener labeled JDM. Should maybe just be labeled "japanese."

How pervasive is it? "JDM" is actually an eBay search keyword-- there are more than 18,000 items listed with "JDM " in the title description. I personally ignore it's inclusion, because perhaps 3% of those listings pertain to items that are generally avialable only in the Japanese Domestic Market.

I think the only true JDM item I've bought on eBay was a set of 3 Totoro posters and a matching wall scroll for my son's room. I mean, what says JDM more than this?
