an item was removed because it was in violation of a policy on minors

[us_banac]

i posted a framed cover of the may 1977 playboy, which didn't show nudity.  it was also being sold with a centerfold from another playboy which had the same theme as the framed cover.  Ebay says it violated policies regarding showing minors.  i don't think playboy would ever use minors in their pictorials or on their covers.  i would like to get this item relisted.  who would i contact to resolve this.  the automatic advisors didn't help to get me answers.

Several people reported this recently.

Without know the issue of centerfold, it is hard to guide you, but Playboy did sometimes have models under age 18.

I did research for another seller about an Oct 1979 issue that featured  the centerfold Ursula Buchfellner who would have turned 18 on 8 June 1979, perhaps she was not 18 when those photos for Oct 1979 were taken.

Also, she appeared in a German Playboy December 1977 - the photos were taken when she was 16.

Photos of children under 18 when the photo was taken would be prohibited on eBay.

It's possible eBay is pulling all Ursula Buchfellner magazines (and similar)

I know you don't want to hear this, but I would find another marketplace for this issue.
