Listing not approved...HELP...HELP

[tls66548]

Hello I need help..I posted this message before, but I guess I got Something Wrong...A few hours ago I tried to post  some 70 year old Technical Manuals for the Army Airforce of World War II. When I had finished entering everything (pictures, Descriptions, and details of price,etc.), and hit enter I got a nasty message that I was Not allowed to post these items..and to "not try to post them again". When I had looked these items up before, there were many of the same manuals posted with no problems, so I checked again , and the same manuals are still offered for sale. Why is ebay giving me a hard time, is it something personal ??? I have been selling here for years, and have never had a problem. Please help, I rely on you guys !! If you know where I can place a complaint, please let me know, thanks again.

NO, you must hit submit first.

Try to follow me here.

Step one: Enter title and IS/ Barcode info. Submit.

eBay either says "OK, proceed" or "STOP- Prohibited item! See eBay policy on prohibited items HERE for further information".

For a company that's just in love with adding as many clicks as possible and then some to EVERY operation, it would be a no- brainer.

This is similar to something that happened to me a year ago .  I check to see if item is selling/sold on Ebay - item had sold in past.  I checked for prohibited items - items listed alphabetically.  Item wasn't on list so I listed item to sell.  First item sold at auction right away, so I listed 2nd item - sold at auction right away.  A few weeks later I get e-mail saying they're pulling listing cause prohibited item ( items had already sold, but now they don't show in my selling history, and lost the positive feedback).  I just checked the prohibited list again.  This item doesn't show up in list (and several people are currently selling this item right now).  It's only when you click on + Read our full policy that the prohibited item in question shows up. I thought I had done my due diligence, but I'll be more careful in the future, knowing that information is not shared where you would think it would be.

I feel that if these things are restricted we should be stopped when we enter the title, and not after all our work is done.

I don't think anyone here would argue with that.

Until you hit enter Ebay has no clue you are trying to list something not approved. It's more of a common sense thing to understand that's how it works.

Absolutely not true or we wouldn't get warnings before we hit submit.
