I frequently view categories by "Newly listed" and these placeholders/dummies are becoming quite an annoyance!
One of the drawbacks of browsing categories by "Newly listed" is that you see a lot of "unfinished" listings that the sellers intend to add to later.
Some are also using keyword spam to break search results, they will fill in a few details for the placeholders that include popular search terms.
Keyword spammers tend to be lazy and often reuse the same keyword lists. If you can find one word that is unrelated to your search and exclude it, you can avoid anyone using that same keyword list. Keyword spammers also tend to list in the wrong category and omit important item-specifics. That can also be used to your advantage to filter out those sellers. The worst offenders in any category can be excluded directly by name, and also can be reported to eBay.
The more targeted your searches, the less likely you are to run into these problems.
