I tried listing a genuine UK Police issue truncheon (baton) 1960-1995 the listing was removed for violating a weapons policy, though there are very similar items listed.

Here is eBay's weapons policy:

https://www.ebay.com/help/policies/prohibited-restricted-items/weapons-policy?id=5050

"The following or similar items are not allowed:

Hand weapons such as: brass knuckles in any form, leaded canes, nightsticks, nunchakus, or sansetsukons"

And 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."
