Cannot delete item unlisted due to hazardous policy
Summary: ontariobeerkegsinc explains that their thermometer listing was removed due to a violation of the Hazardous Materials policy, although they did not mention any hazardous materials. They are unconcerned about relisting but unable to delete the listing because the selection box is greyed out. videotimeplus shares a similar experience with an unjustly removed game listing that was not deletable and eventually vanished after a few months. flipistics suggests that the thermometer was likely flagged for potentially containing mercury, which might have complicated legal shipping even if the listing was active.
I have a thermometer that was unlisted.
"This listing was removed for violating our Hazardous materials policy."
I don't know why it was flagged, I don't even mention any hazardous materials in the ad, so it's likely just an over-active AI deciding. Whatever.
I don't care about relisting or fighting to sell this product. But I can't remove or delete the listing. The selection box is greyed out and I would like to get rid of this listing as a part of housekeeping.

·1 year agoI assume they flag anything likely to contain mercury. For what it's worth, you may have had trouble legally shipping it anyway. I know Canada Post doesn't allow them to be shipped.

·1 year agoI haven't had an item removed for hazardous reasons, but I had a game falsely removed for being counterfeit even though it was authentic. It too was stuck there with no way to delete, I'm assuming so users can't just repost it. I left it there and it disappeared after a few months by itself.
