I use VLV when I do searches, it usually pulls up some cool stuff. I will do VLV shoes or VLV dress. It is usually 50's rockabilly style stuff that I want to see and would wear to VLV.

And as a seller on ebay I am not quite sure how you would list your item if you don't use Eames, Mod , Space Age and all those other descriptive words. How would people find your stuff, if you have an all black floor length Lace dress that a Gothic chic would wet herself over why not use GOTH in your title. How else is your bidders going to find your stuff.

As far as using Eames that is describing a style a decor. If you are looking for a true eames piece all you have to do is punch in Charles Eames, that will bring up what you want, don't put eames era.

I personally like that fact that I can describe a style I am looking for such as Mod, Eames, Rockabilly, VLV and get a whole mess of items that are something someone into that style would dig. And with the refined searches you can get so incredibly detailed in your search you really should not be having to many problems finding what you want!
Some people do use vintage, 50's, eames, space age and terms like that really loosely, but some of those people I really believe don't know what decade there item really came from anyway, and aren't those the finds that we all love, the ones that where miss titled and no one found because it was put in 70's eames face vase lot, but was an awesome tiki mug lot (I actually got a bunch of cool mugs that way). So you can't bitch to much about people using the wrong terms.
