The stuff is under Auction description, that is why it is shady!
Having other listing outside of the description box is different.
Does eBay allow sellers to advertise there other auctions within auction descriptions? Yes.
Nothing shady about it.
Do we really need to prove what is allowed by ebay???? Seriously must we go here.

None of those links say anywhere that you are not allowed to advertise your other listings within an auction description. Also from your text:

The "and more" is usually stuff promoting other auctions the seller has.
Just out of curiosity do you actively sell on eBay? I have been for a while now. I advertise my other auctions within my item descriptions and before I ever did I was more than assured by eBay representitives that advertising my other auctions within my listings was more than kosher and is actually encouraged.
BAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Whatever you say Perry Mason...
