I..."Remington" is apparently not allowed. It's a gun brand, so I expect other gun brands might be disallowed. I wonder what one does about listing Remington shaving products? They seem to be awfully vague with some of these. Might cause problems if the official color of something is "burgundy", for example. They want you to list properly, but put obstacles in your way.Tulanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3478150005308602150.post-75511732839458856342011-04-06T20:42:53.673-05:002011-04-06T20:42:53.673-05:00You can put the rejected words in promotion box in...You can put the rejected words in promotion box in Artfire.

I had a jewelry listing refused because it had "champaign colored" pearls. And I'm still trying to figure out how to describe the color "burgundy" or what if an item has vines in the decorations..."long thin swirly leafy branches"? lol! . How about using "smokeless" and "petless" homes? Or "no pets or smoke". Although it probably won't be long before "smoke" is added to the list.Janicehttp://tresmundosartistry.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3478150005308602150.post-38637353726343194262010-11-21T22:19:59.891-06:002010-11-21T22:19:59.891-06:00Thank you, Shiny Cat!
