My Listing [ebay.com]

Graeme, what did you replace it with?

Roy

Whelan STC LED - BRIGHT!

Who would have thought a Cessna 150 could have been accused of impersonating a police officer?.....:

From FleaBay:

You recently listed the following listing:

Unfortunately, we had to remove your listing because the following information violates our policy:

You listed emergency vehicle lighting that flashes red. Only Amber-colored or clear emergency lighting systems and lenses are allowed to be listed.

Please do not relist this item.

Listings for items that can be used to impersonate a law enforcement official are not permitted on eBay. This includes law enforcement badges, equipment, or uniforms issued by any international, federal, state, or local law enforcement agency or government. For this reason, listings for emergency vehicle lighting or sirens are not permitted.

That is silly.
The problem is in how you listed it.
Certain "key" words flag inappropriate items not allowed on eBay.
Re-list and use "anti-collision" light, and "aircraft", or "beacon" and it will be OK.

"speed monitored by aircraft"

I guess you could use your C150 to fly up and down interstate highways with your red light flashing.

But you'd need a certificated aircraft sy-reen, $43,271 plus shipping from Spruce.

That's stupid.

Cripes...

Yeah Graeme, relist it using the suggestions given.

This is past stupid!

Man I have always wanted a certified aicraft sy-reen. Do you think they would take a check?

Interestingly and after reading the eBay rules on the point.... "Aircrafts (sic) Beacons" are a permitted exception to their "rule". So I called and asked for a reinstatement. I ran into total dumb stupidity and inability to comprehend it was an aircraft part. It is not worth that much and I haves better things to do. If anyone needs a 14v flasher unit, uncorroded beacon lamp and a spare bulb - make me an offer.
