Greedbay? Feebay? A select group of eBay power sellers have a message for the online auction site: don't cross us.

The sellers, riled up by recent eBay policy changes, have been hitting back at the site for weeks - first with listing boycotts and now with accusations of fake listings and forum censorship.

EBay on Tuesday admitted that a "bug" in its system had accidentally placed listings from eBay-owned shopping.com onto eBay.com late Friday night.

The bug was related to the gallery feature that allows users to place a small photo of their item on the initial search returns page, a spokesman said. EBay traditionally charged 35 cents to include a gallery photo, but as part of the policy changes that went into effect February 20, they are now free of charge.

However, "the code actually rolled out three hours late, so there were a certain number of listings ... that didn't get gallery free, so we were going back and fixing that" on Friday, the spokesman said. "What happened was, when we wrote the code to implement that fix in the database table, there was a string that was left on there that populated and sent shopping.com listings onto ebay.com that it shouldn't have."

Approximately 5,000 listings were pulled from shopping.com, but they have since been removed, according to eBay.

Sellers pointed to the listings snafu as evidence that eBay was inflating its numbers to make up for losses sustained during the boycott. When the bug first emerged on Friday, the spokesman told a reporter that it was actually a planned test.

"But it wasn't a test. It ended up being a bug," he said. ...

No, that isn’t the first time we’ve heard of harmless consumers snagging some new kit only to find random bits of unwanted trashcan in place of the actual product, but unfortunately, we’ve all ideas it’s not the final. that go ’round, a couple waltzed into Best Buy, snagged a “brand new” $300 to…
