One of the most important parts of selling on Wagglepop is to be sure you are in compliance with all facets of the Listing Policy.

Beyond that, and particularly important, is to be sure to list within those guidelines and to steer clear of any Title Violations.

Title Violations are particularly serious violations of the Listing Policy, and for that reason, they are given extra weight and consideration.

Please note: The violations outlined below apply to item descriptions as well, as descriptions are also searchable.

Why are Title Violations so serious?

	Titles can deceive potential buyers. A listing title is meant to describe the item being offered, descriptively and accurately. A title that has deceptive or unrelated keywords can deceive buyers into thinking that the item is one thing, when it is actually another.
	Titles are searchable. The majority of searches on Wagglepop are keyword driven, and for that reason, a listing title that has deceptive or unrelated keywords in it will display similar results to potential buyers searching by keyword.
	Titles can drive inappropriate traffic. Inappropriate traffic is defined as using a title that attempts to get a high "click-thru" rate based primarily on deceptive or unrelated keywords. For potential buyers, these listings serve only to make their search more time consuming, and serve no purpose for the community in that regard.

How is a Title Violation determined? A listing title is considered in violation of the Listing Policy if exhibiting one or both of the violation characteristics below: Title displays deceptive keywords. Deceptive keywords are meant only to drive inappropriate or additional traffic to a listing, and do not relate directly to the actual item listed. Examples include: Title Violation 1969 Topps #550 Brooks Robinson PSA Baseball card in question must be graded by PSA as the title suggests. Gold Necklace 14K Gold Quality Necklace in question must actually be 14K gold, not just of 14K gold "quality" as the title suggests. Pair of Levi's Jeans NWT Jeans in question must actually be "new with tags" as the NWT nomenclature purports. Title displays unrelated keywords. Certain keywords are restricted from use in any listing titles, unless a material and necessary part of the item being offered, such as a book title, for example. Example restrictions below: Restricted Title Keywords Word Example not Beautiful Silver Watch not Gold like New Computer like Apple ? Old Hank Aaron baseball card PSA? for DVD Player for playing Angelina Jolie movies ..... and other similar keywords that do not directly relate the title to the actual item listed. Title displays excessive keywords. Excessive keywords are restricted from use in any listing titles, unless a material and necessary part of the item being offered, such as a book title, for example. An example of a title using excessive keywords: 1952 Topps Willie Mays PSA GAI SGC? graded Mantle The title above displays not only excessive keywords, but unrelated and deceptive keywords as well.

What happens if my listing is in violation? Listing Cancellation. If a listing title is judged to be clearly exhibiting a Title Violation, the listing can and will be cancelled without notice or refund. Listings that are in violation are not only against the Listing Policy, but also not in the spirit of any trust-based community such as Wagglepop. Honest mistakes are just that: honest mistakes. But purposefully misconstructed titles are another matter entirely. They're unfair, they're unwelcome and more than that ..... they're wrong. Membership Suspension or Revocation. Cases exhibiting extreme or repetitive violations subject the offender to either membership suspension or revocation, at the sole discretion of Wagglepop.
