Item sold $135 as collectors item PAL AUS Pokemon Black 2

Ebay is hiding the listing

I contacted them and I demanded from them to provide me the link so we can go trough together and work out what bothers ebay

they were not cooperative and they stated we found small margins why we have removed it and no further cooperation

shame on ebay as they remove Legit items and no right to justify or Appeal to decision

I can now see why so many people sell on Martketplace instead of ebay

very disappointed

Ebay rep very unprofessional as he was asking me what is buyer going to get

I stated buyer already purchased and received  item 2 months ago

Why would you remove Legit  item 2 months after  the sale was completed

Yes all the scammers have moved to Marketplace as their are absolutely no checks done on anything over there

Why would you still have an item  listed for sale that you had already sold and was no longer in your possession?

Because that is what your post implies.

Has the buyer been refunded.   At a guess the buyer had the item verified as counterfeit and provided such documentation to ebay.

Your sold items, has no record of such sale.

Because it was removed - that means it's no longer visible on ebay.

I doubt the item was still listed, either - your sold items are accessible for 90 days, but if ebay removed the listing, I assume it's no longer accessible from the seller's account, therefore they couldn't check for what may have triggered the removal - I'm also assuming the issue here is more the account restriction rather than the sold listing. 

TBH it could have been triggered by a variety of things; bots, a Nintendo sweep - if it were the buyer I don't really understand why there was no contact, dispute or reference to a refund, but I doubt there's much you can do about it unless you have something that can prove its authenticity (infinitely more difficult if you're no longer in possession of it, of course).
