Listing Removed

[adaeauc]

I've had two listings removed by ebay (Purple Heart Ribbon and Distinguished Service Cross Ribbon). Yet when I search for Purple Heart Ribbon there are 904 results and 43 results for Distinguished Service Cross Ribbon. Why were mine removed and not the others? Who makes these decisions?  Is there any recourse? Thoughts/suggestions please!

Because your listings were caught and the others weren't (yet). There is no recourse. Others are usually caught eventually, sometimes the violations hit post-sale, believe it or not.

The following or similar items are not allowed:

• Government-issued medals and certificates for medals

Why was my listing removed when similar listings are still active?

If your listing is removed by eBay, you may see similar listings still active on the site. This could be for several reasons:

• There may be differences between the two listings that are not obvious
• The other seller may be a rights owner or an authorized retailer of the item
• A participant in the VeRO program may have asked us to remove your listing but hasn't requested the other listing's removal. These types of removals are only done at the request of the VeRO participant; they are not eBay's decision. Read more about the VeRO Program
• Your listing was reported to us, but the other listing was not

If you think another listing violates our policies, please let us know and we'll investigate.

You have been judged guilty in the court of Ebay.....even though you are right and they are wrong......they will not restore the listing.

I am dealing with identical issues where I can point to the exact verbage in their TOS....they still dont care.

It's like shooting fish in a barrel.  You don't get them all at once.  It takes time.  I only see 883 Purple Heart Ribbons with one sold in the past 24 hours so 20 others have also been pulled.

Ebay makes this decision and rightfully so, please don't relist these especially the purple heart ribbon.

     This is not a fashion statement or brooch, a military member was either wounded or killed like my Nephew. Donate this to your local Veterans office please.

How is the OP right? It's a violation to sell Purple Hearts and other military medals here. Policy isn't even vague like some of them are.
