Default eBay 'JDM' auctions

Every time i'm on ebay looking for something in particular, 'JDM' pops up for more and more stock parts. I'm usually looking for simple things like interior/exterior replacement parts.

Easy auctions like this state in the description that it is not a JDM part
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...33695

But more and more auctions are listing 'JDM' and its up to the bidders discretion to tell the pieces apart.

I know that theyre trying to crack down on 'Mugen' knockoffs sold as genuine parts, but is there a way for us to pressure ebay into monitoring the usage of 'JDM' because it's a bitch to sift through and people are getting scammed?

that **** bothers me too...almost everything honda on there is now classed as "JDM" by the person or shop selling it. Just like the other day when I seen a mugen cold air intake for a mustang...wtf are these guys smoking.

Well, most people throw things like that in so that when someone does a search, their item can come up... its how you get more publicity for your item... and who cares if they say its "JDM" the fool who buys it deserves to be ripped off.
