I know this is an OLD thread, but eBay can and will cancel auctions for even the most innocent "keywordspamming" if they receive a complaint from another eBay member. I know this from experience. I was selling a very early set of Frazier May loudspeakers a few years ago, and mentioned in the description that they were designed in part by Edmond May, one of JBL's most influential and famous employees. This is a matter of fact, but eBay saw it as keyword spamming and cancelled my listing with no warning. I send reams of evidence in the form of citations like this one:

But it was to no avail. They didn't want to hear a word of it. I was, quite simply, not allowed to print "JBL" in my auction, which I found quite absurd. Not suprisingly, the auction did not fare well at all without mention that one of JBL's most famous engineers had a hand in the speakers' design.
