Not as easy as searching blank strings however, plus they'll have to use the clues!

The clues are pointless at the moment...

Anyway, I'm going to bed. You've kept me up long enough!

I'm a student and I need sleep!

Oooh, that's a good idea!

There's gotta be yet another way around that one too!

List items earlier in the day, then edit them later.

Easy!

Gah. It's a shame. Indeed, it could've been a fantastic thing to play, nice little Christmas gift!

Wonder how/if they're gonna sort this one out!

No chance with that, they avoid using those words because of that! Well, apart from one yesterday...

There's not a chance in hell of you winning now. It needs to be sorted.

Heh.. s'what I've been doing..

(the,and,i,you,to,be,in,) etc, etc. :-p
Not sure how to do the blank string, though..

Even then, you're always too late. Really can't figure out how people are getting them within seconds. I think the quickest one so far is 11 seconds or something.

Within 2 minutes that iPod page had had 500 hits! That just shows you how crap it really is...

It was a great idea, and it has potential to be a great idea. But there's no fun in it now. A fun game has been ruined by people cheating.

DON'T TRY AND WIN, YOU WON'T

People have found a way of 'cheating the system' where the can search for EVERY new listing that appears on the site.

Back in the day where I arrived second at the BOSE home cinema system 2 minutes after it had been listed, it was because I had worked out the clue. If I was 20 seconds quicker I could have won it.

However, with everyone just searching every new listing now without even looking at the clue. If I was 20 seconds quicker to arriving at that last iPod page it wouldn't have even been listed! It went in 18 seconds...

Until they sort it out I'm not bothering, there's no fun or a chance in it anymore.

Just look at the eBay forums to see everyone moaning about it...

But.. but, Jack Adaptor US to UK?!

Whoever thinks of all the so-called answers to those clues, needs a slap.

Where do eBay live..?
