"After reviewing your eBay account, it looks like you haven’t followed our Embargoed Goods policy. We understand that you may not have been aware of this policy or that this may have been an oversight, so we're including some policy information to help you with your future listings. We also had to take the following actions:
- Listings that didn't follow eBay guidelines have been removed. A list of removed items is available further down in this email.
- We have credited all associated fees except for the final value fee for your listing(s).

eBay doesn't allow the sale of items to or from countries, organizations, businesses, or individuals where local or EU embargo regulations exist, or where  the United States government has an embargo. This includes Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Sudan, and other countries. This significantly restricts or bans all trade with these countries. As a United States company, eBay is bound by the government’s restrictions regarding these embargoes.

For example, we don’t allow items from Cuba, such as Cuban cigars, to be listed or sold on eBay. The only exceptions are items defined as "informational" or "licensed" by the U.S. Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control.

For more information on this policy, go to:
http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/policies/embargo.html 

Please understand that you listed an item from Habana ( cuba), which is considered Embargoed Goods. Embargoed Goods are not permitted to be listed on eBay.co.uk due to various restrictions placed by the US government for embargoed goods. We sincerely request you for not relisting such items on the site. I?ve noticed that this is the first time you breached eBay policy; please take some time to read our help pages. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us via chat or email. If you see an item that isn?t allowed, it?s probably because we aren?t aware about it. We encourage you to report us such questionable listings through report item link located on the item page.

Please take a moment to familiarise yourself with this information and be sure that your current and future listings follow these guidelines. If they don’t, they'll be removed and we may, at our sole discretion, decide not to refund your fees. It could also result in additional actions, including loss of buying and selling privileges on eBay.

If you have any more questions, contact us:

        • ...i know where they are....  ;-)

  • I think its a badge of honour, wear it with pride.

    "Slowpaw's cigarbox guitars. Too hot for ebay!"

    • ....they're smokin' hot - too hot for Amazon too !  ;-)

  • Steve, It's not worth the fight, remove the listing. I had a beef with their "Policy Nerd's" a while back over a wrist watch. They're like the gov't , they may not always be right, but they're never wrong. After doing the suggested fixes 3 times, each fix with it's own "punishment" for non-compliance and each punishment being removed after re examination of listing, I gave up and pissed away about 8 hours of my life that'd been better spent building a  CBG, drinking or sleeping.

    • i've given in sheepishly, got enough to think about atm, onward and upward! :-)
