Removed my listing for a box

[flyinhawaiiangirl]

It was a wood box that was empty and old from Cuba. Even empty, it's not allowed?

Yes it can be used to fill the box with stuff Ebay does not allow people to sell here.

It was an old cigar box, but I've had it for like 25 years and just recently found it in a box. Ha. Listed it, and it was removed within a few hours.

Trump banned trade with Cuba again, so it's likely the fact that it comes from Cuba that's giving you a problem.

Yes, like I said it can be used to fill it with stuff Ebay does not allow. No different then a Rolex box where people can use it to sell fakes.

yeah, that's why they said it was removed because of some embargo with Cuba, but it's an old empty wood box. Although, what coolections points out is relevant. I just thought it was a cool box.

I used to buy them at the liquor store in college years ago and just found a box with bunch of them in there. None were worth anything except the ones from Cuba. ha, the ones they hadn't caught yet. O well.

From Ebay Policy Pages:

• We don't allow the sale of embargoed items from the following countries, and we don't allow organizations, businesses, or individuals to have or register accounts while based in these countries:
  • Cuba
  • Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea)
  • Iran
  • Syria

The problem is where the box is from, not what can be put into it.  Empty product boxes and related accessories  have been allowed for quite a while.
