Whyi can't list tobacco pipes?

So I just started here and was listing items. Got to my estate tobacco pipes, and got a message that they are being “suppressed”. Then the listings disappeared completely. Got an email saying tobacco products are prohibited, but nothing was said about an old cigarette holder. Also looked up estate pipes, and BOOM, there was at least 2 dozen tobacco pipes listed. So what’s up with that?

When I do a google search for vintage estate pipes, hundreds pop up. I don’t understand why Bonanza won’t let you post them.

@FuManChew019, sorry for the confusion. You can read a full list of items that are prohibited [URL removed] https://www.bonanza.com/site_help/general_selling/prohibited_items

You are right that you still may find a small number of prohibited items on the site but that is only because we have not found them yet :) If our automated measures do not spot prohibited items then we should see them when we browse the site manually. If you spot something on the site that should not be listed, please click on the “Report Violation” link in the listing to bring it to our attention.

If you have any other questions please do contact us directly so we can assist, https://www.bonanza.com/site_help/contact_us

Thank you for your support!

Perhaps need to eliminate this category…
Collectibles > Tobacciana > Pipes > Estate

I do know that they will be suppressed and not sent to google shopping…but I thought as collectibles they were allowed
