Why does my listing for military medals get removed when there are thousands of active listings ?

My listing for miniature military medals was removed with only a generic explanation. There is nothing in the ebay message that goes into specifics of the medals that can be sold. I currently see thousands of active and sold listings for U.S. military medals. The authentic collection includes a Defense Superior Service and Purple Heart mini medal. Why does my listing for military medals get removed when there are thousands of active listings?

The following or similar items are not allowed:

  • Government, private transit, or shipping company uniforms and accessories such as hats, pins and scarves 
    • Vintage or collectible uniforms and accessories may be listed if they meet all these requirements: 
      • The item is 10 years old or older 
      • It's no longer in use 
      • It doesn't look like a current uniform or accessory 
    • Government-issued medals and certificates for medals

As far as why "just yours", it's just luck of the draw. You are on their radar now so don't even think of relisting it.

because it again the rules: and one should never go by what one finds on eBay: them folks selling such reported yours, so they can keep selling theirs. Report em... Sick em.....

Thanks for the replies. Doesn't make any sense, because those other listings never get removed if /when reported. Literally thousands of similar sold and active listings.

Yep such is the way they work:

I dont say how because such SCAMMERS by passing eBay rules and regs do so with methods that by pass ebay checks.

Telling such would be a breach of eBay security...
