He's just trying to get search results from within Ebay.com. Pretty sad. Why would you even care about trying to label your item to exploit Ebays search when you can flood the web with your bike for sale on much more effective sites and forums. I've seen a lot of overseas sellers misrepresenting parts (NOS etc..) and with exotic names but whole motorcycles? That's just dumb and won't get you anything but bad comments.

Lots of sellers try and label reman parts as MOS / Mint Old Stock or some other stupid misrepresentation in order to move parts to confused buyers that were duped. Then they would use the excuse that they disclosed the condition and make of the part with their made up acronym that is misleading. And of course they will offer a full refund if you return the part 5,000 miles overseas back to them. I almost fell victim to this but the seller wouldn't return questions once the auction was won so I was able to void the auction.

Ok I won't rant anymore... it's hard not to!

Here are a couple useful links for ebay scam facts that are interesting to read:
