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 search by title only) more accurate.
On the other hand, there seems to be little rhyme or reason why ebay does
some of the things they do, because I've seen my share of completely bogus
listings with clearly misleading titles and descriptions (like a pyramid
scheme with the title "18th century Irish spinning wheel!) and no amount of
complaining to ebay removed the items or the seller.
If I were you, I'd re-list it with those words in the description, but avoid
mentioning "movie". Like : "Are you a big fan of Jane Austen? You will love
this stunning gown that is a modern example of the styles described in Pride
and Prejudice." (or whatever). People who search by looking at titles
*and* descriptions will still find this item, and you can assure people who
*know* what they are looking for by using a very accurate title.
