Listing removed for firearms and accessories policy

[Glamoriza]

Hi all
I need help I listed a car auto parts accessories but eBay removed it because it's firearms or something like that

[GreenBean]

Rather a vague comment.

Is it an imitation of a firearm or accessory?

Does it have a trademark?

you sell "car auto parts accessories"? I used to dropship tools a few years ago, and I got similar "firearms" warnings for selling a rivet gun, a hot glue gun, staple gun, basically anything with the word gun in it! I just contacted Ebay and they looked at the listing, agreed it wasn't a weapon and allowed me to relist it.

If Ebay are wrong about your listings, and the items are legitimate (and you don't mind Ebay looking at them closely) then contact customer service and they should sort that out for you

Hmm thats strange, so Ebay say they have identified the item as intended for use with a firearm...... If you don't mind me asking, which item caused this warning? Is it possible that they have mistaken the part for something else?
It seems very strange to get a message like that about car parts

[GreenBean]

is there anyone else listing that HIGH DEMAND PRODUCT and where did they list them and how is it worded?

[GreenBean]

Huh? Anyone else listing that as yet unidentified high risk item?

Hang five, I will look into my crystal ball.

[agent006140]

assuming his product is in high demand on Ebay,there must be many sold on Ebay,so why is his pulled?

[GreenBean]

My crystal ball advised I go howl at the Moon.
