Dear tucsonsmitty (tucsonsmitty@hotmail.com),

You recently listed the following listing:

310341699108 - DIAMOND Antique Engraved Ivory Poker Chip c1800

Unfortunately, we had to remove your listing because of the following:

Your listing was removed because you listed Ivory. Please do not re-list.

With extremely limited exception to items made before 1900 that contain *less* than 5 percent ivory --Ivory is not permitted on the site.

Due to the endangered or protected status of many species from which ivory is harvested around the world, the sale of Ivory products are heavily regulated by a complex set of regulations, treaties and laws. Due to the complex nature of these laws, we have made the decision to not allow the sale of ivory on the site.

We realize you may not have been aware of this policy and We've issued a full credit of any listing fees that were charged to your account for this item.

If you see other items that violate this policy, we ask that you please report them by clicking on the "Report Item" link which is found on the left hand side of every listing.

We ask that you please not relist this item on our site.

Because of state and federal regulations on the sale of live animals, plants, and wildlife products, we have some restrictions on the kinds of items you can sell on eBay.

Due to various international trade restrictions and treaties banning the sale of ivory, we don't allow listings for items made from or containing any kind of ivory. You can, however, offer manufactured ivory products that were made before the year 1900 and contain less than 5 percent ivory -- generally items with ivory inlay like antique furniture or musical instruments. When listing these kinds of products, you'll need to include a picture of the item, clearly state the item was made before 1900, and offer domestic shipping only.
