Well....I'm going to just throw this out FWIW.  If you were a small Seller with say,  20 Listings, it would be no big deal to have one listing for a fog light in clear and another in amber, etc. But you have over 22,000 Listings. I can't speak for Ebay but perhaps they desire that you "streamline" your Listings and consolidate items into one Listing with drop down menus for color choices. Do you have floor mats is 27 different colors and a seperate Listing for each one? 

  I checked your Listings and will admit to only looking at the first page. Seems like I saw mercedes grill over and over and that overall most Listings were so similar that I felt I was looking at the same thing over and over. Just my .02 cents. I shop alot on Ebay. See very similar thing in other categories. Totally hate it. 14,500 Listings for the same Headlight bulb. One for this Harley....one for this Harley....and so on. All with the same part number. All with the same stock photo.......39 pages in a row. Nobody shopping wants to see that - 96

You should have been ok if the titles and pictures were different.  In other cateogories, one would have to use the Multi-variation listings to be compliant but we don't have them in EBM except for apparel & merchandise cateogories.

No doubt, your listings were tagged by the bots.  As they have no ability to reason, they can only mis-construe. As afore mentioned....Actually use different photos.
