I can't find any reference to 'Goldfinger' bananas being restricted in Australia. Try your listing again with the proper name of Musa paradisiaca in case it is the old botanical name that has somehow been tagged. Or leave out the botanical name altogether.

In Australia It is illegal to sell or distibute Banana plants, or cuttings unless you are an approved Nursery (approved by the Government)
Anyone wishing to grow a Banana tree in Australia has to get a permit and they are then directed to approved suppliers.
It has to do with preventing the spread of disease which would wipe out our Banana Industry.

What I don’t understand maranock is that there is a listing on at the moment very similar, it does have Musa paradisiaca so maybe that’s why. I have contacted eBay twice and they just keep saying why it was removed and not answering my question of how is a banana plant a noxious weed and where are you getting your information
Maybe from here -

Those are old laws that were discarded about ten years ago. Bananas are allowed to be distributed across borders now.

'Goldfinger' is an edible banana, not an ornamental. It is not on the weed list or restricted.

Oops, ran out of time. You do need a (free) permit in Qld, but it is not illegal.
