In Ebay groups certain words are sometimes automatically censored. Usually I can figure out why, but this time . . . . ? Why the heck would "style" be censored? Any ideas?

I think because it is a synonym for "like", "similar to", and people say "in the style of", meaning it's like something else. The problem is, the word has other meanings, but I guess the computer just picks it up, and spits it out!

People say, Tiffany Style, Yurman style, Hummel style and that is considered Keyword Spam. I still see a lot of it out there when I am doing a search.

Yeah that's it - I just had an auction pulled because I put "like new" in the title and it was a designer piece (but real). Won't make that mistake again.
