I have this stag film from the '40s or '50s. Probably pretty tame by today's standards, but I have viewed only the first few yards with a magnifying glass and a lightbox. When I listed it recently in Videos, it got four fast bids (based, I suppose, on its title which is suggestive but uses no profanity), then eBay pulled it saying it violated their category policy (I sent them a treatise on how it shouldn't be relegated to Mature Audiences, especially since all I show is the film reel).

Anyway, I tried to list it in MA tonight but got a series of errors. On the first attempt without changing anything but the category, AW offered to display the error, but when I clicked to view it, I got nothing. I tried again and got another error saying Paypal is no longer available for this item (can't offer Paypal, apparently). I omitted the Paypal option and got another error: "The item cannot be listed or modified. The title and/or description may contain improper words, or the listing or seller may be in violation of eBay policy." I then deleted the old auction ID and tried again without the Paypal option checked but got the same error. And I got it again when I tried it with only US shipping checked.

Is eBay able to block me from listing anything in the MA category? I'm beginning to wonder if they are rejecting this listing because I said I hadn't view the film -- don't know how nasty it might actually be. But the computer wouldn't know that, especially since I deleted the original ID.

So does anyone know why I can't list this item?

Thanks, Sue
