Report them to eBay for keyword spamming. Oh wait... it is eBay

p.s. who do we report this keyword spamming to? Google might be a start.

ok maybe it's NOT keyword spamming per se. I can only bring it up when I'm browsing under the Ebay auction categories. But it sure looks like keyword spam. Here it is for "postcards"

I guess if you're a seller and your stuck on looking for keywords for your items this ought to do the trick.
