You can also try removing everything from the URL after the item number I tried copying the item number and pasting it into the search box, such as in the screenshot you provided. This did work. Thanks for suggestion. |

I removed all my ebay cookies and browser cache and I don't think I'm having this issue anymore. |

ebay just removed one of my coin listings yesterday. The automated email from them in part "didn't follow our Replica coins and currency policy." The coin in question was genuine. I called them and told them the coin had been purchased from them 2 years previous. Quoted date of purchase, name of seller. They weren't interested. The tail end of their email "This determination was made using automation or artificial intelligence."

Just because you buy something on ebay, Amazon, etc doesn't mean it's genuine. Like nss said though, what exactly was it? Post some images here, please. |

Images as requested. This coin was previously in an ANACS holder MS 62 cracked out by myself and posted raw in the listing. Could ANACS have missed a counterfeit or a replica? Possibly. Don't know at this point.   |

ebay has rules. Now they are more honored in the breach than the observance", but they do have rules. Counterfeit & replica coins are a hard violation of the rules. As is a numeric grade from a non-approved company - words, number, pictures, it's all prohibited. ebay cannot - obviously - review every single listing before it's posted. It would solve the world's unemployment problem, but it would also cost $10 per listing. So they use software and are forever tweaking it, improving it, fixing it when it makes stupid decisions. Two possibilities * You should not have been able to buy it two years ago as the listing violated ebay's policies - and today you got flagged * The software did something stupid

words, number, pictures, it's all prohibited. . Possibly words. I did give a possible grade for the coin down in the description area but I made it clear it was ONLY my personal opinion and other opinions may vary. Did not mention any TPG. |

Yeah, no numerical grades for raw coins.

This coin is a raw coin, and the seller mentioned a numeric grade.
Raw coin listings...
"Must not include a non-approved grading company, numeric grade or estimated value anywhere in the listing and can't show an image of the item in a graded holder if the image shows a grade"
One's personal opinion is even less reliable (in general) than a grade given by a non-approved third party grading company.

That pretty much explains it then; my narrative in the description giving my grade opinion. What threw a monkey wrench in to it for me was their statement referring to "didn't follow our Replica coins and currency policy" intimating it was the coin causing the problem. Thanks for your feedback and info.

ebay removes listings using trivial unreliable searches for strings containing text they arbitrarily consider potentially violating a policy. Can provide a couple of examples: COULD NOT list a coin from Liberia commemorating Cuban missile crisis(using word Cuban in the title) Got a coin from Somalia removed because it had Elephant in the title( that's what was on the coin). When I called ebay, I was told it was because it is illegal to sell IVORY. Could not list ancient Persia coins (they said can't sell coins from Iran)
