Before, to save space, I didn't bother to use any spaces between the
commas. For example I'm looking for a blue toy but not a black or green
or red or purple toy. So I use this:
Blue Toy -(Black,Green,Red,Purple).
Before the "New Playground" was mandated by Ebay this seemed to save
character length but after the revision in their system things changed. I
think that if you don't insert a space after a comma their system thinks
that (Black,Green,Red,Purple) is all one word and rejects it when it gets
very long, like 100 characters.
Does this make sense to some of you more experienced people on here?
