Policy Violation

[mo47rris]

I have a board game listed called "Cash N' Guns"

It has been called as a Policy Violation under the Firearms Policy!

It's a board game and there are dozens of them on ebay but for some reason mine has been cancelled.

What can I do?

Any help much appreciated....

Yep,  them little eBay bots  have spotted that word ' Guns' and looked no further,  and removed your item.

It all depends what your eBay message told you, that is,  if you are told that you cannot relist this item,  then you will not be able to or face serious selling restrictions.  

The others have slipped the net, there are 7 billion listings on eBay at any one time,  so every single one cannot be checked, and they stay listed,  until  spotted and reported like yours was, then they too could be removed.

Annoying when AI / bots and  not humans take control eh, all understanding and reason is out of the window!  🤔

Hope it works out for you!

Somebody once had the Dad's Army children's game removed as Nazi-related. Like the TV programme, the box showed a picture of little Union Jacks holding back little swastikas!

Perhaps if there had been no space between N’G you would have got away with it, but notvworth the risk.

As others apparently are still listed it sounds as though reported, but can hardly have been reviewed by a human. Possibly others are listed outside the U K where the word Guns is not banned.
