Listing removed

[foxescome]

Clearly the removal is the work of a robot acting on certain triggers. Robots are renowned for not being very smart so if you keep putting the same item back they will happily keep deleting it for you.

You have two choices. Reword the listing so that the robot doesn't get upset about it or discuss the matter rationally with admin (regardless of if you feel you shouldn't have to) to find a resolution and/or get the robot's criteria modified.

If you flick a lion's left goolie with a wet towel and it bites your left leg off - you don't then flick its right goolie to see if its reaction is any different.

lol Some might try though!!

What a novel idea - call it something other than what it is

"WWI US Canvas Bolo Knife Sheath"


Maybe it's the "US"?

Sounds like you need to contact support with the auction # and ask why it was removed.

I would suggest the problem is in the title....BOLO KNIFE ...and I would say more with the knife than the bolo....it might be difficult to say what this is without using the word knife ???? , call it a sheath / scabbard for a cutting impliment...might even get more interest that way ????.......papa.

That's not quite what I said.

You clearly cannot use the word 'knife' in the title of a listing and get past the robot that filters out weapons. So consider...is the word knife redundent in the title? As a 'bolo' is a type of knife, could you not just use WWI US Canvas Bolo Sheath / Scabbard? You could use the term 'knife' in the item description I would expect.

I'm sure that if you could come up with the coding logic to allow the filtering out of actual weapons from weapon accessories when the likes of the word knife are used in a title then admin would be happy to listen.

Without someone reviewing every suspect listing then some items will always fall through the cracks.

Your best option is still to talk to admin; there is nothing anyone on forums can do about the problem you are experiencing. You may have to accept that you simply cannot list the item on eBid in the form you are currently trying to do.
