Default eBay blocking listing titles with ...colors? Seriously?

I have a store on eBay where I only sell red items. Anything with the color red. Well, my wife does ...but I do all the listing as it takes me 30 seconds to list something that takes her 30 minutes, but that's not the point.

The account has over 800+ all positive feedback, with about 200 listings at all times. Today I went to list something and I got that nasty eBay message saying something along the lines of "sorry you can't list any more items of this type. once you have a proven selling history we will increase your limits, etc.".

So I tried to find out what was causing it, removed each and every word in the title until I found it. Guess what? It's the word "red". The listing goes through without problems if I don't use the word "red" in the title. I can use blue, green, black, yellow, etc. just not red.

Crazy, huh?

I guess there's a limit on how many items of a single color you're able to list now, too.

It's totally ridiculous. Since posting this a few hours ago, I've listed another 80 items on the account without issues, but all of them without the word "red" in the title. As soon as I add "red", it won't let me list it.
