Discovery of previously unknown policy violation? | Selling

So yesterday I had a vintage USPS patch removed because someone reported it as a policy violation and someone at ebay concurred. The Policy was the Government Items Policy. Specifically "delivery services". Despite their own policy indicating that if it was over 10 years old and no longer used on their uniforms it would be ok. Of course I protested and asked for a review and of course their decision was upheld despite the evidence that it truly was obsolete. Doesn't really matter to me, I've got thousands of items, I just didn't want a "ding" on my record and truly know it wasn't breaking their policy based on what it says. Have any of you been "made aware" of a policy violation you never knew or thought existed with an item? Does this kind of restriction truly help anyone or anything? Thoughts? I've long thought if it's legal, there should be no problem. Let's have a true free marketplace. Perhaps one day?
