i had a similar issue recently which infuriated me.
i was selling a number of items of the same type, the "Coles Little Shop Mini Collectables" with a multi-variation listing. on the variations, i had all of the 30 collectables listed so that people could select which one they wanted to buy, or buy multiple. my listing was appearing near the top of the first page of results of thousands of results and i was making a decent amount of sales.
i was told by ebay this contravened their "Choice Policy" which states that multi-variation listings must be of the same item type, varying only in colour or size and not totally different items. they removed my listing.
although it annoyed me, i was fine with it as i looked up the policy and sure enough, my listing was violating it. what frustrated me more though was that there were hundreds of other sellers doing the exact same thing, some selling 100-200 items a day on the first page of the search results and their listings were not affected. they were also australian sellers. in spite, i reported a few listings, and ebay said they'd look into it - i even provided them the item numbers.. but no other listings were removed and they remained in place for a further 5 weeks. some of those listings sold thousands of items over that period, falling into the tens of thousands of dollars.
i pestered ebay every few days asking what was being done and they said they had either found they weren't violating the policy, or were still "looking into it."
there is discrimination, even amongst australian sellers and i can't figure out for the life of me what the difference is or who makes the determinations and why.
