REMOVED LISTING!

[lootlam]

Why is my listing (235868764178) removed when another listing of the exact same item (166717363819) is not?

What dd the email say that Ebay sent?

[johnrj1226]

The eBay cops can only handle 1 removal of the  gang at a time just  like traffic cops - tag you are it.

must be wording on your listing. Check the mail what ebay said

I just bought a loader from a seller that sold like 1400 of them. And it isnt illegal.

They often go by key words.  One flagged word and your toast.  Don't relist it. You can be banned from selling for life.  They will keep that listing and it's photos until the end of time.

@lootlam ,

Just take it to a gun show and sell it to a dealer or take it to a pawn shop. No fees and get paid cash.

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

If your listing is removed or hidden 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 isn't following our policies, please let us know and we'll investigate.

While I'm sure this is sarcasm, the OP may not realize that.

I know that seems unfair.  They don't catch all the listings that need to be removed at the same time and they will always miss some since the site has 1.5-2 billion active listings.  It is a lot to police, even with a robot.

The email you got from Ebay would tell us more.  You may not agree with it, but it should give more info.

[johnrj1226]

Guess you  could ask them to be certain.

You may take small comfort:  judging by the other seller's negative feedback, whoever purchases the item in question probably won't receive it.  

Oh, and the other guy is a "think tank."   🤣

Report the other listing, citing the same reason yours was removed.
Maybe it'll get removed too

Actually was replying to the OP via the use of a parallel comparison with a dash or two bit of humor - many times folks find it easier to understand.  Found it very useful in communications with customer/clients over my career in sales/marketing in  convey the Features, Functions, Advantages and Benefits of the products and services I was peddling and in just general day to day communications.  Sarcasm or being sarcastic certainly not intended.

I don't necessarily disagree, but sometimes the way the sarcasm is written, regulars realize it is sarcasm by new or newer people to the threads don't.
