Prohibited ad

HI,

I am 73 years old and I have been collecting pens and pens for more than 40 years =
The other day I bought a watch and a Mont Blanc pen case from your site.
I will sell some of the collection to collect Seiko watches.
I have collected only old models of Mont Blanc, Cross and Parker. Can I find you a receipt from 50 years ago or from deceased collectors from whom I have ever bought? Like mine, which I offered here for sale, there are many more. How did you put them up for sale and I didn't? Because I'm from Bulgaria? Is there such a policy and? I can send you a photo with all of my collections. Models of 60 years and older. Why do you tolerate reports from competitors? Please place the ad for sale, which is correct and will put an end to this unacceptable attitude
With best wishes

There is so little detail here that the posting itself sounds suspicious! I wouldnt be prepared to put any suspicion down to inherent language difficulties.

But maybe eBay were suspicious about a new seller selling a MontBlanc box?

I do know that eBay is a bit touchy about people selling Rolex and Montblanc boxes because a (genuine) box makes it easier to sell a fake pen/watch. AND there are lots of fake Rolex boxes out there, -  and, I would imagine fake Montblanc ones? There is a proportionate reaction between the amount of money a company spends on countering fakes and the amount of effort eBay expends protecting those brands.

They certainly used to try to discourage selling boxes.
