Restricted item; tonfa
Good morning community! I recently created a listing for a piece of martial arts equipment called a tonfa. I have not used these for over thirty years and just wanted to find a new home for them. Not a business, just a household account of over 20 years. I had two listings with a pair (how they are normally used) and then a single item. The two pair listings seemed to be successful but the listing with the single was blocked and a warning message was sent that it is a weapon or is dangerous. I cancelled them all and appealed, but the appeal was denied. Here is what I cannot figure out; there are several current active listings for the exact same items sold in pairs, and even a search of completed listings have dozens of recent successful sales of the same items! The only thing I can think of is that when listed as a single piece of equipment it could be misinterpreted?? Does anyone have any insight on this? Thanks

Here is what eBay says about removed listings:
"Why was my listing removed/hidden when similar listings are still active?
