Something triggered the bot to think they were either railroad keys or government facility keys or shipping company keys.

I'm sorry that happened.

I would appeal the situation, however, I would *not* relist these particular keys on eBay. Sell them on another platform. Too often when someone wins an appeal, they relist and then, it gets removed again.

Not railroad keys, just regular Corbin, Fraim, others.

If they are railroad keys, they are prohibited under this policy

https://www.ebay.com/help/policies/prohibited-restricted-items/government-items-policy?id=4318

They fall under transit or shipping company property which is not allowed as it could be used for mischief.

Even though you may see other listings, it does not mean the item is allowed.

The other listings you see are like the cars speeding by on the highway. Only most of these will get "pulled over by eBay"... their listing will get pulled down before or after the sale, AND they get a warning on their account. OR their account will be closed.

I know it is hard to understand when you see the listings, but trust me, they nearly all get caught.

I know this is not the answer you want. I would find another place to sell your item.
