They are also in blatant violation of Ebay’s policies against key word
spamming and requiring listing items in the proper category.

But it’s not “key word spamming,” since the product is, after all,
“LEGO-compatible,” and that’s one of its intended selling points. Why would
it be any different to describe a LEGO lot as “Red Bricks,” since both “red”
and “brick” could be keywords, in other contexts?
I thought keyword spamming was more like:
PENCILS FOR SALE BRITNEY SPEARS EMINEM SPIDER-MAN TONY HAWK AMIDALA
in which the actual item has little or nothing to do with the description’s
buzzwords.

This is not, however, how Ebay defines key word spamming.

In particular,
Extra Brand Names in Title. Any use of a trademarked
(brand) name in the title of a listing where products
of that brand name are not being offered.

This is a rather old thread, but I saw
a few listings on eBay that brought this discussion to mind.
I check eBay quite often for my beloved clone brand, and I’ve often seen it
described as “Not Legos,” but this is the first time I’ve ever seen LEGO
products described on eBay as “Not MEGA BLOK.”
It surprised me, but I guess it shouldn’t have...
