Fossil

Hi, 

I posted a listing of Fossil Hippopotamus tusks and teeth. These species are extinct and existed during the Pleistocene till a 1000 yrs ago yet ebay took it down. The teeth are literally fossil. And ebay took it down and sent email saying they couldn't allow that as it was bone or ivory of endangered species. How do I fix this, ebay may as well not allow any fossil they're "endangered"

The bots probably saw the terms tusks and teeth so bone / ivory attributed and the item was removed.

I'm afraid if the message you received explained you cannot relist the item,  do not try to,  as you would face stricter selling sanctions even a ban.

You'll have to find another platform to sell this item.

Hi thanks for the reply and information. I did some research and and my fossil tusk has some very white parts in it. Apparently ivory in fossils is also in sort of weird situation too by law as it can be confusing for the existing animals today
