It's true.

To cut back on the rapid turnover of counterfeit diamonds (I presume), you are not allowed to use the name "Tiffany" in titles for auctions with a duration less than 5 days.

This, of course, includes Princess Tiffany. (As well as cassette tapes from the 80's mall-tour singing sensation of the same name.) I list my auctions at 3-day durations. For some time now, if I have a Tiffany to list, I have had to title the auction "Princess Tiff." (Or worse yet, "Princess Tiffani." Gee-aw.)

When asked for a comment, Princess Tiffany said: "C'mon, eBay. Why you gotta hate? Also, by right I should be Queen."
 
I did not know that! Poor Tiff. I never liked how those Princesses had "real" names.

I hope the rule doesn't affect your sales. It shouldn't because you have such nice pictures of her. :photo:
 
You could use Princess Pearl, as I think there's no difference between the two of them aside from the bushwoolie and dragon.
 
That is so silly. Ebay is nuts-o
 
yeah use the Uk name - good job she has two!
 
Even if you do a full 7-day or store listing, Princess Tiffany's auctions won't be visible for 24 hours sometimes. It's annoying, but I guess I can see why eBay does it.

I wasn't aware though that it wasn't allowed whatsoever for 3 day auctions. That is pretty lame.
 
So I think now people have to put them up for 5 day listings. If it was spelled something else people doing searches for Princess Tiffany could miss out.
 
Ummmmm.

That's . . . that's a different policy. o_O

I can see it leading to all kinds of wackiness.

"DVD shrinkwrapped Breakfast at *******'s"
 
Princess Tiffany should invoke her right to diplomatic immunity as an ambassador from Ponyland xD

Thanks Spoosh! :D I haven't watched any MLP eps in ages, and that was a great reminder to bust out the dvds!
 
Lol! Imagine someone mistaking Princess Tiffany for a diamond! Although, I haven't seen her price on ebay soar lately.

As far as the princess ponies having "real" names. I really haven't run into anyone lately named Royal Blue, or Pristina. Lol. In the end, "Serena" is the only true name. :949:

Try Princesses Tiffany, Serena, Misty, and Dawn.
 
weird. you think that they would limit it to specific categories...ummm, like jewelry maybe?? I doubt that the pony (or music) categories are peddling counterfeit diamonds. :p
