I'm guessing the listing would have been fine six months ago, but now with the movie coming out it has become a brand name. Funny thing about celebrity names and fashion - I know exactly what Madonna boots are, or a Jackie-O pillbox. People's names become synonymous with a style. For

This is really odd! Maybe it's because you have Jane Austin and Pride and Prejudice together? Maybe if it was one or the other, or said Jane Austin style dress or era dress? I don't know...I've never seen anything like this. I would write to them right away and find out what the deal is.

I think the basic problem is that the words were in the TITLE of the auction. If you put similar words and phrases in a conversational manner in the description of the items, I think you would be okay. I think the main problem is they are trying to make the search results (for people who
