I bought a threaded barrel for a gun on eBay

Question

Now I'm being told it's not allowed to be sold on eBay. Do a search for threaded barrel. I came back with 1600+ results. Seems like I'm either being pick on or eBay needs to look more at what's being sold.

Here is what eBay says about removed listings, I think most of this also applies to listings that are prevented from being listed as well:

"Why was my listing removed/hidden when similar listings are still active?

If your listing is removed or hidden by eBay, you may see similar listings still active on the site. This could be for several reasons:

There may be differences between the two listings that are not obvious
The other seller may be a rights owner or an authorized retailer of the item
A participant in the VeRO program may have asked us to remove your listing but hasn't requested the other listing's removal. These types of removals are only done at the request of the VeRO participant; they are not eBay's decision. Read more about the VeRO Program
Your listing was reported to us, but the other listing was not

If you think another listing isn't following our policies, please let us know and we'll investigate."
