It would be so good if eBay would just tell you precisely what the problem is instead of the generic message.

So true! This is an interesting topic. Ebay as moral standard-bearer. What a joke! You never know if your auction got scrutinized because someone complained, or if some young, eBay block captain was "doing their job."

When they pulled the first auction, I ran a search and found an auction for a book about the history of stag films. Showed only the cover. One could assume the interior of the book would have photos of naked people engaged in sex acts. My film showed only the reel (book cover) and you might assume the "interior" of the film showed people in the same activities. The title of my movie uses two words that are ordinary nouns -- one is synonymous with dampness, the other with rigidity. Neither word by itself would raise an eyebrow, but together, the words are very suggestive. So eBay's action was based on very subjective criteria and could be seen as singling me out. It's a wonder they don't get sued more often.
