ebay encouraging keyword spamming

I am just relisting an item on my business account and changing it from auction to BIN . Ebay have come up with some helpful keywords that they believe will help me sell the item. None of which are anything to do with the item I am selling.
Trying to avoid stating what I am selling, it is as though I am selling a piece of costume jewelelry where they recommend I will get 12% more views by putting the word 'gold' in my title.

I am finding the suggestions/recommendations are all item specifics and in the IS box make sense but on the title wouldn't fit and would be spamming. Silver is one I have a lot and I don't sell silver. But my favourite is 'China'. I don't sell china, but the country of origin is China!0

Oh this does my head in. I was listing a hoodie and Ebay wanted me to describe it as a hooded hoodie :mad:0

I have a number of industrial power supplies for sale on eBay. Each time I list one of them eBay insists that my listing is inadequate and that I should add the model number of a completely different (and totally unsuitable) supply made by a completely different manufacturer!• The rich buy assets.
• The poor only have expenses.
• The middle class buy liabilities they think are assets.0
