Why was my listing showed “Adult only item - Requires verification"?

I recently listed some vintage dolls, that are in no way shape or form adult items, but they are showing up as adult only requires verification when I check my  newly listed items. I also do not see them in the search listings as well. They are under the correct doll category and there are no words that I could think of in the title other than Love since it is a doll with the title Love in it. They are kids toys from the 70's. Hasbro World of Love dolls. Anyone else having this problem?

Well, I can't see your listing(s), but there are listings for other dolls from the same company and line. Are there different words in your title/description from those listings?

Sorry I had to laugh at this answer. I read that sentence and it gave me a good roll. This is not my listing id. I was just curious if a glitch is going around and if anyone else is affected. I was hoping if so something was being done and I just hadn't heard about it.

I guess I will have to steel myself and call CS.

Without seeing a listing in question, no one can give their insights into possible problems. Is that funny?

It could be "Love dolls" that set it off.

Good luck with CS.

Never mind about the funny part, I see the post was edited and may have included a joke in the original.

LOL!

That's exactly what happened. I made a reference to the bots reading "love" and "doll" in the listing and drawing their own conclusions.

I edited it only because I ran off and did a quick search and found other listings that included the same terms, which made my original response pretty much worthless--albeit funny! LOL!

We can’t help you if you don’t let us see the listings. Post a link and we will see if we can help.

Maybe not worthless, it could be the "bot" just flagged this listing but not others?

It’s hard to say when we can’t see the listing. Why do people ask for help then make it impossible to help them?

The OP posted: "I guess I will have to steel myself and call CS."

My guess is s/he's still on hold.

I don't suppose you did a Sell Similar listing using a template that was originally from an Adult Only category...? (Doesn't seem likely, but I figured we should cover all the bases here...)
