I had an auction ended yesterday for alleged keyword spamming. I had a watch listed, which was manufactured and waranteed by company Y, a well-known watch company, and released with the logo of company X, a well-known leatherware maker. So I used both X and Y in my title. Was I keyword spamming? I have no idea, as ebay's policy on keyword spamming doesn't mention my situation...
IOW, their policy is lacking, and the reps who dictate what is and what isn't a violation are lacking even more...
Even the powerseller rep hasn't been able to clarify why they ended my auction.

Bingo Julesy. The reps are just trained . . . .reps . . . they aren't investigators, they don't read the descriptions or use any discernment or common sense.
