Emissions for motor vehicle error coming up FOR NON-VEHICLE ITEMS: household floor lamps
We sell antique lighting made of brass, cast iron, nickel, etc. We have been selling these items for many years and have never had any trouble with our listings until today trying to list 2 different brass and cast iron floor lamps. We get a big red box with a message about VEHICLE EMISSIONS:
This item can't be listed on eBay because it could be used to defeat, bypass or shut down the emissions controls in a motor vehicle. This includes tuners, regardless of functionality, or items described as "off-road" only or "racing only." You can read more in our Emissions control defeat devices policy.
Here is a screen shot. We double checked our listing category, which is Collectibles>Lamps, Lighting

OP1 year ago@kensgiftshop Haha - right?! Nothing at all that we can find! In fact, we copied another of our listings to create the new one, and that one we copied didn't get that message. Hmmmm??

·1 year agoI thought everyone used floor lamps to bypass vehicle emissions. 😀
Is there anything in the description the bots might be picking up thinking it has anything to do with a vehicle?
