Keyword Spamming??!!

Well, i'm mad so i just wrote them an email.
Hello,
Please would you clear up some confusion for me? I came down to 'my eBay' this morning to find that a MOTHERCARE BOYS SHIRT had been removed for KEYWORD SPAMMING. For saying that the item is AS NEW? When it actually IS as new? I am not keyword spamming, never have and never will. I always write my own words. Take my own pictures. This, in my opinion, is absurd. I now have the inconvenience of listing the boys shirt at a grand total of £1.50, again, assuming, i am not allowed to list the item in it's truthful state, which is 'as new'. How therefore, am i supposed to word, 'as new'?
Please would you kindly explain this idiosyncracy, or put the item back up for sale?
Thank you.

^Yeah.
Apparently they think it's keyword spamming because when people search for "New ___", your item will pop up even though it isn't "New" by their standards (i.e. in package with tags, etc.).

This happened to me once too for using "like new" in a listing, I didn't know any better. Just relist without the "as new", try using "mint condition"
I had like new in a title a few weeks ago. When I went to submit a warning came up that said if I did not change it it would be considered key word spamming. Change your title. I changed my title and have not done it since. I like EUC..which means excellent used condition. Anyone who has been around for awhile seems to know what that means.
