message blocked by eBay

I tried to send this message to the seller and was blocked by eBay.

"Your message was blocked because it contains language that may be considered offensive. Please rephrase and try again. Learn more about our Threats and offensive language policy."

This is the message, what language that may be considered offensive ? 

This camera does not function properly, I cleaned out the corrosion from the battery compartment and installed a new PX-13 battery. When you **bleep** the shutter, it does not fire.

What word was bleeped by the censors above?

When you ???? the shutter ...

I assume it's not a bad word. Are you using an abbreviation that can be seen as a bad word? If so, don't use the abbreviation.

[dead_dog_records]

A shutter is a function of a camera to open and close in the camera to expose the film.

I am not using an abbreviation.

[wastingtime101]

I know what a shutter is and what it does. I'm asking what word you were using that got bleeped. Can you use a synonym?

Seems if the board censor here is bleeping it, then eBay message censors may also be catching it.

@wastingtime101 :  perhaps this is it:  a commonly used verb when “shutter” is its object that is also a synonym (when used as a noun) for rooster - begins with c.

It's like Wordle, only different.

@dead_dog_records 

If you want to tell us what the word is, try saying "it begins with [x] and ends with [rest of letters in word]". Because whatever the word is, it's triggering the auto-censor here as well. But the only way to get past it is to use a synonym for the bleeped word.

[buyselljack2016]

are you confusing the word shutter with shuttle

[nyr134]

The same word is used for both!  In cameras it means winding the shutter or preparing it to shoot.

Oh, there you go @dead_dog_records - easily solved. Just use "wind" instead.

[kensgiftshop]

Try leaving out the word they bleeped.

[simba6]

The word  bleep is a stand in for a swear word ( in their mind at least)

For example   The pen is easy to grip.   That too is forbidden.  Leave out the space between pen and is and you can see why.

Are you sure you typed "shutter" and not "shi****"? 

[fbusoni]

This is the first time I've heard of an AI censor in messaging.  Clearly, AI is reviewing communication between sellers and buyers... so to those sellers who think that it's smart to be abusive, rude or otherwise inappropriate to buyers, you may want to mind your manners.   Remember what eBay says in section 4 of its user agreement:  

 

@dead_dog_records 

In case it's not already clear to you:

The word that was bleeped out starts with a "c" and ends with a "k."

Go it now?

[dead_dog_records]

So " CLICK" is bleeped out ?

@dead_dog_records 

I agree that it is crazy if the word you typed was 'click'. Will 'press' work?
