Question
Ebay needs to get a freakin' grip.
I listed an M16 rifle bipod on ebay. It got a bid quickly. It happened to be the only item I have listed with a bid.
I listed it without question because there was one like it on completed auctions that sold for $48, I think it was.
So gee, you'd think it was maybe OK with one being right there on completed.
Nope. One seller got to sell his though, didn't he?
Answer
Interesting.
A search of "M16 bipod" also brings up:
Airsoft M16 M4 Universal Sniper Bipod Kit +RIS Mount nr
Right. He's allowed to sell that, but I can't sell an old Army surplus one.
Makes perfect sense.

Yeah, somebody reported me.
Any guesses as to what I'd like to say to that person? He/she might even be lurking here. My ID is no secret.

Answer
I thought parts could be sold on ebay now, especially the old military parts.
Sorry this happened to you
Answer
Wasn't me..I've had 4 or 5 auctions canceled throughout my career..I've got 3 vinyl radio shows on right now that usually get the axe but so far so good.
I had a 1998 or so Playboy magazine on with the rock group Kiss on the cover under music memorbilia and it got axed and there was still 7 or 8 of them same magazine still on.
Answer
I understand why eBay doesn't tell you who reported you, but I sure wish there was a way to find out.
Sometimes it's so tempting to start sending complaints like crazy to eBay about other sellers... grrrrrrr!
I remember once when I was a little kid, I was at the beach and there were these kids who were throwing sand. I guess my parents were up by the picnic area, so I went over to the life guard, a godlike young fella with raybans and a bikinied groupie on each side. I was shy, so it was tough for me to speak up, but the sand throwing creeps wouldn't listen to me so I had to appeal to the authorities. I looked up at this cluster of perfectly tanned, 'beautiful people'-types and said something like "they're throwing sand!". Before the lifeguard could even respond one of the gorgeous, blonde groupies leaned down and said loudly, "Don't you know that no one likes a tattletale?" The rest of them laughed at that, and I slunk away, humiliated.
Wow. Don't know where that came from, it must be one of those deep defining moments Dr. Phil talks about. shudder!
