I collect and sell antique bottles. eBays AI bots can't tell if we are selling alcohol or medicine. | Selling

Because I listed a case gin bottle (that is a shape) with a description of its embossing a Full Man (vs. Half Man), their AI bots determined I was trying to sell gin and violating their policy. Today they found a Daltons Sarsaparilla bottle that still had its contents, 125 years old and accused me of selling medicine. Come on no one is buying our bottles to use this stuff. Would anyone drink a hundred-year-old COKE? You can't get bots to realize they've made a mistake; they are brainless morons. I relisted the gin without the word full and sold it but deleting it from my unsold list is impossible. Bots that don't understand our hobby are really irritating.
