eBay blocks listings of 1899 Cuba occupation stamps
Summary: clarkphilatelics is facing issues with eBay's system wrongly blocking submissions of U.S. stamps from 1899, which were issued during the occupation of Cuba following the Spanish-American War. The participant notes that relevant item specifics like the country and year of issue are ignored, attributing the issue to eBay's oversight. clarkphilatelics emphasizes that these stamps should not be blocked, particularly as they were issued before the 1959 Communist takeover of Cuba.
Submissions of overprinted United States stamps issued in 1899 during the occupation of Cuba after the Spanish-American War are being rejected for listing. Apparently, Item Specifics like Country of Origin: United States, and Place of Origin: United States and Year of Issue: 1899 are being ignored by the eBay bots. Stamps and covers issued before the 1959 Communist takeover of Cuba should not be blocked by eBay. This has been a long-standing problem created by eBay's failure to pay attention to Item specifics.
