Mis-categorization begats SLAP-ON-THE-WRIST

[lissaslair]

I recently listed a military MANUAL on one of the oldest and most widely-used CARGO AIRPLANES in the world.  It's design/airframe is 70-years old this year.  The plane is the military equivalent of a dump truck.  I see attractive prices and these manuals are relatively rare in this condition and configuration.

I THINK  (ebay didn't say exactly)  that my mistake was putting it in the General Aviation category, thinking it would attract not only former-military eyes, but guys who fly private planes (read "$$$").  Should I have categorized it as militaria?

Ebay 1) killed the listing, 2) warned me not to try it again, and 3) all the while allowing the exact same 'book' to be listed and sold elsewhere on the site.  Their message suggests to this reader that think it'll 'splode or something.  

Thanks in advance for your consideration,

I'd be more worried about "Dried booger looks like a Klingon Bird of Prey" if I were you.

Bizarre.

Had no idea what you were talking about, and now I wish I still didn't.

As for the actual post subject, I have no idea why eBay did that other than it needs to go in a category for manuals. Guess OP could contact support on Facebook and ask what category it should go in so it doesn't happen again. Not really sure.
