Oddly enough, if one types in "Mafac", your ad does not show up!
(I think it's the "classic" out in front) Why this is, is beyond me.
In general I think ebay's cracking down is a good idea, as it becomes irritating getting back numerous unwanted auctions because some sellers are throwing in every old and defunct manufacturer's name they can think of in their ad(in addition to the too cute "not Campy"). Some items can be a real challenge(3TTT comes to mind). How does one search without having to enter every variation you can think up?
