Policy Violation offering to sell outside of Ebay policy.
Summary: goodbuy154 sought help with an eBay listing for cross stitch books that was put on hold due to a policy violation. mr_lincoln suggested the issue might be a glitch or a report by someone else selling similar items. goodbuy154 clarified the listing details and later reported making changes to the description, which appeared to resolve the issue.
I have a posting for cross stitch book, that I have listed and relisted over and over for the last few years. Today my listing was put on hold, the message reads as
"Policy violationPolicy violationThis listing violates our Offering to Buy or Sell Outside of eBay Policy. It's hidden until you can fix it."
I tried to fix the problem and even I created a new listing and posted it, It was useless.
I don't know What to do, or what to change in my posting ? and how.

Mentor1 week agoOne of the thing that eBay's System looks for is the "@" symbol,
or something that might be an e-mail address or a website.
A lot of times that "@" symbol can be replaced by the word "at."

Mentor1 week agoHI @goodbuy154
If eBay hid that listing and then hid the one you created then you will have to sell it elsewhere. Was it one you had multiple copies of and they would occasionally sell or was it just a listing with a Quantity of 1?
It is hard to say what happened, it could be a glitch or maybe somebody reported the listing for some kind of a violation ... like maybe someone else who has it for sale.

Cross Stitch Lot of 8 Hardcover Books in Excellent Condition"
8 books in the main picture showing, and the other 8 pictures are one picture of each book one by one.
