Why not just put 'meteorite ML' in the ebay description instead of
'Meteorite' Then just 3 extra characters is all it would use, least it
would cut out the meteorite caravans, lipsticks, eye shadows, lamps,
CD's etc !!

Putting code in the title is not really feisable. I am
often short space anyway and already include my own
code for example.
However, if an odd code was inserted into the text, if
you set the ebay search parameters to "Search title
and description " you might still end up with the same
result that you want and could filter them all to your
site.
