Thanks, Aylwen Garden

However, your listing was in violation of eBay's Keyword Spamming policy and
has been removed from eBay. We have credited all associated fees to your
account and notified eBay users associated with the transaction that it has

We would like to take this opportunity to let you know what part of your

Your listing(s) contains the following information:
In Title:

Keyword spamming is not permitted on eBay. This typically occurs when members
place brand names or other inappropriate keywords in a title or description for
the purpose of gaining attention or diverting members to a listing.
* Use of Brand Names: Our policy does not permit members to include any brand
names in the listing title other than the specific brand name used by the
company that manufactured or produced the item being offered in the listing.
* Custom-made items: Although an item may be fabricated to visually match a
specific product line of a recognized brand name, members are not permitted to
include the name of the product line, or the related brand name in the listing
title.
* Use of Celebrity or Artist Names: At present, our policy does not permit
members to include celebrity names, or the names of artists, authors, or other
known figures in the listing title other than the specific celebrity or known
figure that has created, written or officially endorsed the item being offered
in the listing. From the perspective of our policy, celebrity names are
treated as being synonymous with brand names.
This means that although a celebrity may have worn a similar item, or made such an item popular in current pop-culture, members are not permitted to use the names of these celebrities or known figures in the listing title.
Our policy permits a seller to use *one* name as a comparison within the
subtitle or description section of the listing.
