eBay has hidden one of my listings after it has been on the site for a few weeks, claiming that I'm inviting people to buy the item outside of eBay. The only thing that can have triggered this is a link on the listing to a size guide on the relevant website (I'm selling a child's wetsuit). I've linked to websites plenty of times without falling foul - is this a new thing? Nowhere in the listing do I suggest that we conclude the transaction away from eBay. I've appealed once, and the listing was restored without comment. This time the 'start an appeal' tab is greyed out.
I can't relist it, despite the relist button being visible - it takes me back to square one and invites me to list an item. The only other option I'm offered is to delete the listing. Anyone else experienced anything similar?

Outside links will get picked up by AI and get removed,so best delete the listing and add the relevant size details etc by text in the listing description

I guess that's the answer, just feels like a 'sledgehammer to crack a nut' response from eBay.
Thank you!
