EBay is removing listings that are authentic items claiming they are fake.

An item of mine recently was removed because EBay deemed it "fake/inauthentic" when in reality it is authentic. I personally bought the item straight from the legitimate retail store years ago, but don't have a receipt from 2017. It was not originally purchased used or through a third party, it came straight from the retail store.

My description was detailed and there were plenty pictures of the item and all the tags attached proving it's authenticity. 

 

EBay removed a legitimate item that was actually authentic, yet I can find several inauthentic live listings right now of similar items that EBay doesn't bother to remove... 

When I contacted EBay, they gave me the same loop hole response and didn't even bother looking at the listing. 

EBay needs to be more educated on items instead of removing potential sales, taking business away and giving sellers a bad experience because EBay lacks knowledge and refuses to admit their faults.
