Hello,I was banned again for 10 days and my listing was removed. But I don't sell living animals, I sell prehistoric crab eggs (e.g. Triops).About 12 different species.It's always very interesting that with the suspension an email comes saying that basically almost everything involving living animals is prohibited except prehistoric crab eggs (e.g. Triops).Then I had eBay call me. The lady, who speaks German very poorly, of course didn't understand what Triops are and insisted on her opinion that they are animals. After I spent 30 minutes trying to explain to her that they are not living animals, she became aggressive and just hung up.Now I don't know whether I should just call again.As I've been selling Triops for 14 years now, the suspensions due to AI are piling up more and more and are really costing me money.Maybe eBay is reading along here and can help me.Or maybe another user.Thank you very much for your help.
