"not jailbroken" listing is removed

[geek-domtechnstuff]

So I had an Amazon FireStick - orignal OS not hacked, rooted (proper term for andriod device), or jailbroken (improper term - jailbreaking is only for apple devices).  I called customer service and was told to just remove it because I'm saying it's jailbroken.  Um, did you see the word "not" before it.  "yes".  So I need to not fully inform potential buyers and be less than honest? "yes"  Just to clarify, you are advising me to be less than honest. "yes".  Is this recorded. "yes" Ok, are you being fully honest or less than honest in saying yes?  "your listing was removed because you said it was jailbroken".  Again, the word not before jailbroken means you're really not looking at the whole listing.  "have a great day" click.

It's not controversy, it's misleading and inappropriate for sellers that want to sell an item where they find a loophole for the item. The Amazon fire stick isn't the problem here, the problem is that consumers are misleading and it's the consumer's fault as well.

I listed one as upgraded and ebay pulled it. Said was because of possible copy right infringement. Side loading firesticks is not illegal.

Using a firestick is not downloading. It is streaming.  Not illegal.
