Why would eBay remove one of my listings?

I had a Playboy magazine for sale, (same one others are selling on eBay), and I received a notice this morning my listing was removed - 

We had to remove your listing because it didn’t follow our Protecting minors policy. We don’t allow listings that include images or descriptions of minors (under 18) in a compromising situation, even if the listing is not intended to be sexual in nature. Minors must be fully clothed.

There were no pictures of nude minors on my listing nor are there within this October 1979  issue of Playboy!

There was a picture of the cover - Burt Reynolds and a picture of Bear Bryant on my listing. NO CHILDREN PICTURES WHATSOEVER- NO LANGUAGE ELUDING TO THAT! So what gives eBay?

I am guessing a bit here, but there are not a lot of Oct 1979 listings.

The centerfold Ursula Buchfellner would have turned 18 on 8 June 1979, perhaps she was not 18 when those photos for Oct 1979 were taken.

 

Also, she appeared in a German Playboy December 1977 - the photos were taken when she was 16.

 

Photos of children under 18 when the photo was taken would be prohibited on eBay.

It's possible eBay is pulling all Ursula Buchfellner magazines

I know you don't want to hear this, but I would find another marketplace for this issue.

That must have been the eBay reason. I had no idea that was the situation or I never would have listed that issue.
