Hi m.
I don't disagree. I think your post illustrates the problem with eBay titles - they are necessarily compact, but there is also the 'Eats, Shoots and Leaves' issue: namely the abysmal understanding within much of the population of correct grammatical constructions.
In the title in question the degree of separation between 'Paul Ysart' and 'paperweight' is enough to cause confusion, as is the introduction of the word 'vintage' directly after 'Paul Ysart'. Various permutations of the words would have made the definition more specific. Consider for example:
' Paul Ysart paperweight Vintage Lampwork Flower and Latticino basket with PY Cane '
' Paul Ysart paperweight with PY Cane Vintage Lampwork Flower and Latticino basket '
' Vintage Paul Ysart paperweight Lampwork Flower and Latticino basket with PY Cane '
' Vintage Paul Ysart paperweight with PY Cane Lampwork Flower and Latticino basket '
All four signify to me that the item is being sold as a Paul Ysart paperweight without any room for doubt. Whether the weasel wording of the original was intentional or not, who knows...
