Weapons Classifications
I listed a police baton, wood, from Baltimore 1957-1977. It was not posted because it was classified as a weapon. Yet there are other wood police batons on eBay, along with knives and swords.
How do I get past this?

This is how eBay begins the Weapons policy:
Most types of weapons are not allowed on eBay.

Your item is not allowed...
Training or practice weapons such as batons, nunchakus, and throwing stars may be listed as long as they are made of rubber foam, dense foam, or foam with plastic interior tubes

You listing was caught - if there are others that violate policy, they haven't been caught...yet.
You are free to use the report link on any listing that violates policy. Scroll to the bottom of the listing and click the question mark.
