liquor listings

I was just curious how eBay determines listings for new sealed collector liquor bottles?

I'm a Crown Royal Collector and eBay has deleted a few of my listings in the past because the item is new in box and sealed, but I see similar listings everyday for the same items that are new in box and sealed.

Common sense tells you that you cannot list full bottle of alcohol on e bay.  Those that have listed them have just not been caught yet.

it just shows that eBay is not doing their job across the board

You need a liquor license to sell booze, period. Back in the Wild West days of the internet kids were buying these collectible bottles and drinking the booze.
