Having text displayed on the page (even in white - it is still a text and
that's why Ebay can read it), the only technical solution - not to see it
when selected - is to close your eyes, and also try to force all other
users to do it.

You could also consider to put text in a element which would have atribute
hidden in css, but I do not think you are familliar with css.

I am certain that you will be penalized for doing this - cheating.
