Antique seller banned on eBay for "illicit" 1880s cast iron item

The real problem isn’t even automated detection of these things. You can’t do human moderation for the volume of items they sell.

The problem with all big tech services is that there is no functioning appeal process. The appeals should go through human hands. There are so many stories about people appealing, getting another bot-driven “No” and then not even being able to appeal again, or even finding an email address to contact.
