Hi everyone,

I’m hoping someone can help me understand whether my listing was removed correctly or if this was an automated error.

I attempted to list 3 unopened bags of Royal Canin Veterinary Renal Support F Dry Cat Food (6.6 lb each, Exp. October 2026).

The listing was automatically rejected under eBay’s Prescription Drugs policy, and I was told not to relist.

However, I found:

• Multiple recently completed sales of the identical product

• A currently active listing for the same product (Item #298474941919)

My listing was created from scratch (not “Sell Similar”), included the expiration date, photos of the unopened bags, and did not make any medical claims.

I’m not trying to get around eBay policy. I simply want to understand:

Is Royal Canin Veterinary Renal Support F prohibited on eBay?
Has anyone successfully listed this exact product recently?
If so, was there something different about the category or listing that avoided the automatic rejection?

Thanks in advance for any guidance!

If an eBay moderator sees this, I’d appreciate clarification on whether this product is prohibited under current policy or whether my listing may have been incorrectly flagged by the automated system.
