Why does eBay have this policy?
The lists of keywords that appear in these compilation and information item listings result in a poor shopping and finding experience for buyers as it may return items for review in which the buyer has no interest. This form of keyword spamming also results in an unlevel playing field for sellers who do not keyword spam and may receive fewer potential buyers.
