It's their six figure income and work life of choice.
Much as a main street newstand or taxi cab operator might feel about their primary source of income - it sucks when regulations sweep your job away.

Naive. It's a primary source of income for many people.

Don't be a jerk. She suddenly has no way to pay her bills because her commercial partner fucked up and doesn't have anything resembling a real accountability process.

#14I don't know if there are comments or not since I don't have a Twitter... but did she get banned because that's a pill press? Is it a pill press, I'm only guessing.
Yes, it's an antique pill press sold in August. That same listing was flagged three times by their bot because of policy around pill presses and molds, ending in a permaban.
According to the user it was delisted the first time though, so I wonder what caused the other two.

#15fyi ebay agreed to enhanced compliance (ie a crackdown) of pill presses as part of a settlement earlier this year

#16I hope she consults a lawyer. No doubt they have an arbitration clause, but even a commercial arbitration firm will take notice of the fact that eBay violated its own guidelines while providing no form of meaningful recourse or feedback. It's a sad irony that tech firms have made themselves far more Kafkaesque and unresponsive than any government regulator.

That flag three times is also after it was delisted. So flagged once, and then flagged twice more after it was gone. Must have been enormously frustrating to remove a listing and keep getting warnings about the same, removed item.
I can’t understand this from a data processing point of view. Surely the flag database tracks that an item was already flagged and removed, in order to avoid duplicates.

#19Why is a pill press a problem? Are people not allowed the freedom and bodily autonomy to make pills for themselves?

#20Earlier quoted context omitted.
Looks like an antique pill press. Feels innocent enough, but it's probably still illegal. Seems like a zero-tolerance policy (ban for life for a single mistake) might not be the right balance, though.
In this day and age an antique pill press is more of a collectable musket than a "as used by criminal gangs fully automatic large magazine assault weapon". It's not the press of choice for drug baron king pins.
Yeah. It’s a 140 year old antique.
