Offensive Material Policy Violation - You Must Be Kidding Me !

https://www.ebay.com/itm/323595593199?ssPageName=STRK:MEUNSOLD:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1562.l2649

 

So I go to re-list it tonight, and I get the following error message that is stopping me from re-listing the item:

 

"It looks like there's a problem with this listing.

  • Your listing includes a term not permitted under our Offensive Materials policy. Please see our policy here for more information."

 

I'm sure that the members of the Offensive Material Policy Team have spent thousands of hours to make their policy and their screening technique fool-proof so would you please be kind enough to forward my item link to the  Offensive Material Policy Team so that they can tell me exactly which word in my listing they found violated the Offensive Material Policy ?

 

And after Offensive Material Policy Team unanimously concludes that NOTHING in my listing violates their Offensive Material Policy, I would respectfully like to request a $20 Customer Courtesy Coupon for my inconvenience in having to waste my time to deal with this issue, and for my inconvenience of not being able to re-list my totally policy-compliant listing.

 

Thank you !

I  checked out the link you supplied  and to tell you the truth I'm stumped .  There's nothing there that should be offensive to anyone.  Tulips

You're the 2nd post today about some Black Americana being [inappropriately] tagged as offensive.

I'm guessing some coder flipped the wrong switch somewhere.

 

You're kidding about the $20 right?

No, they are not reproductions !

 

I was working FOR Nabisco when I got them, and they were shipped to me from the Nabisco warehouse where they were being distributed from.

 

In fact, I still have the posters stored in the original box that they were shipped to me in !

Gotta be careful nowadays. 

Somewhere in the world, someone will be offended - by someone or something.   Smiley Surprised

Can't have that - it isn't politically correct.  Smiley Frustrated

Not saying 'NO' doesn't mean 'YES'.

The foolishness of one's actions or words is determined by the number of witnesses.

Perhaps if Brains were described as an APP, many people would use them more often.

At this very moment, Bill Maher is in Santa Barbara, on stage, before a sold out audience.

 

Should have seen all the MBZs, BMWs and Bentleys dropping people off.

When I heard the  news report about a teacher  who was teaching her students  that peanut butter and jelly sandwiches  are racist  I just said  that's it ! I'm never leaving my house again ! I'll just pull down the shades and become a total recluse  because that's the only sure way  in this  new crazy world  I won't be able to offend someone . Tulips

I’m mostly offended by eBay. Not kidding. I still fume over some of the things they do.
Lately I’m wrestling with changing shipping weights on my listings. I want to scream at someone but I live in the country by myself so it wouldn’t do any good.
Dear God, please help me to be
the person my dog thinks I am.

This PC thing has gotten way out of hand. In fact, it`s been out of hand for years and gets worse daily. It`s sickening that feelings trump logic in today`s society. Is ebay going to ban the word black? How far are people going to take this? Our future is looking dimmer by the minute.
