I just had an item I was selling removed under the Counterfeit Item Policy. There are a couple interesting twists. First, the item isn't counterfeit. (I recognize that's what everyone says who is, in fact selling counterfeit merchandise, but stick with me.) It is a set of 7 baseball cards containing one letter each of the word "Pirates" manufactured by Topps in 2009. A picture of Honus Wagner is on the card. The cards contain replica or reproduction patches in them, but they are genuine cards. There are auctions for reprinted baseball cards all over the place. That isn't what this is. It's an actual card produced by Topps in 2009 referencing a legend of the game and including a letter patch. The card specifically says the patch is a replica. I don't claim anywhere in the listing that the patch is authentic. I do claim it is an original card because it is not a reprint. Next twist? I bought the entire set one by one on eBay. Help me understand how it's legitimate for me to buy these but against policy to sell them? And of course, you can't reply to the message or appeal the decision.
I still want to sell this set, but I don't know how to straighten this out and I'm concerned that, if I relist the item, my account will be sanctioned. Help!
