Hello All,
I just have had a similar problem and also don't understand what happened. E-bay US removed my listing.
Here my text in the my listing:
Nice Moro barong, hard wood pommel, grip covered with brass sleeve, comlete hilt wrapped with braided copper wire in Moro style, one old small chip at the pommel missing, heavy and solid blade 0,5 cm thick in up, light wood sheat, in up and down inlaid with MOP, an repair in the back, one small piece missing at the carving at the mouth. 68 cm inside the sheat, hilt 14 cm, blade 41,5 cm.
And here what they write me:
You recently listed the following auction-style listing:

300299586377 - Moro Barong from Philippines, no kris, keris


Unfortunately, we had to remove your listing because the following information violates our policy:



We notified members who placed bids on the item that the listing has been canceled.

The sale of weapons is highly regulated by the government, and these items can harm the eBay Community. For these reasons, eBay restricts the sale of weapons to a very few types, and these sales can take place only under very specific conditions. The following items are not permitted on eBay:

- Brass, plastic, or metal knuckles
- Batons
- Billy clubs
- Hidden weapons
- Throwing stars
- Nunchaku
- Leaded canes, staffs, crutches, or sticks
- Zip guns
- Shurikens
- Hand grenades or metal replica hand grenades
- Sandclubs
- Sandbags
- Slungshots (also known as saps or blackjacks)

Pepper spray and mace are only permitted for sale when offered with domestic shipping within the United States. However, sellers and buyers alike should be aware that several states and municipalities regulate the sale and possession of these items, and should make sure that they are in compliance with these laws when buying or selling pepper spray or mace on eBay.

They inform me that I can relist it :
To relist your item, sign in to eBay, go to My eBay to your Unsold items, and select the item that was canceled -- it's highlighted with a yellow banner. Before relisting, please make any changes necessary to ensure that your revised listing is in compliance with the law and eBay policies. You might want to check your other listings for similar violations as well.
Someone can enlighten me what I have done wrong?

Best regards,
sajen
