Answers: 1. Yes, 2. Yes, but each filtered word must first be approved by 50 different eBay 'teams' before it is entered into the filter. Average time taken to enter word into filter: 6 months-1 year.

That's about how it works in eBay corporate bureaucracy land. :
This is one situation where ebay could put an immediate end to fraud by filtering out the model name, and yet it hasn't taken that simple step...and buyers on the site continue to get ripped off as a result of eBay's incompetence.
