I feel all your pain. But as a buyer and seller for years (way more of a buyer) I sometimes will use words in my descriptions that pertain to items of similar iterest. For example when listing say a vintage swimsuit may say "check my other items listed this week for tiki mugs, pin-up clothing, and Danish modern lamps" I have bought several very different items from the same seller before to save shipping and often check their other auctions. Sorry but I have to say this too-when looking at tikis and you see a, say underwear, add you click on it just to see what it's all about and why it's "tiki" A very sneaky way to get you to look at their auction!
What I have found to work is not to check the item description box. If the word is not in the title it will not show it. This also helps weed out those CD sellers which I can't stand and should be the ones kicked off ebay! yuck!
