Gary,
This has happened to me many times before. In most cases you can simply change
the listing slightly and re list it.
In some of the cases I was selling antique ivory or swords and there are
countries that do forbid these objects. When I called eBay about the sword
listing they told me in Portugal NO weapons are allowed to be purchased by it's
citizens so, eBay will not allow international listings of weapons of any kind.
But, again usually a call to eBay can straighten out these messes. dial
866-907-3229 and prompt to continue without a pin number and ask to speak with
a rep.
On another note eBay has been sued and lost cases many times. The most recent
hit ebat took involved a seller selling fake Tiffany antiques. For this now
most sellers some day soon may be required to have stuff authenticated by a
licensed appraiser prior to listing the "Name Brand" stuff for sale.
Yes, it is getting tougher out there.
Cheers,
Carl
