There may have been something about yours that brought it to eBay's attention, or someone may have specifically reported it. Or it may have been caught by a bot searching for certain keywords, where other listings lack those same keywords.
Here is what eBay says about removed listings:
"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.

Mentor2 years agoWhat category was it listed under? How was it described?
Likely the listing was removed for violating the weapons policy prohibiting batons or nightsticks.
