Crazy items being included in knives policy,

I've just had 2 regular listings bring up the new knives & blades policy, why I just cannot understand?

One is a reciprocating saw with NO BLADES INCLUDED! just the bare cordless tool in it's case - When I it sold it cost me DOUBLE (£11.84) for UPS to offer the age verification service/ CRAZY ABSOLUTE RIP OFF - THERE WERE NO BLADES! Surely the algotithym for spotting bladed items is too precise or maybe not precise enough? 

And worst still the 2nd listing was for a reciprocating saw - EMPTY CASE! Can someone help me understand why an empty case requires age verification please? Could you cut your wrists on the plastic. C'mon this is absurd. How many ads on Ebay are for cordless  saws WITHOUT BLADES? Lots, these sellers will just leave.

If you mention blades, saw or knife, then AI will pick it up under blades policy.

Others have had same issue, but ebay won't change, probably because of general blade policy.
