Jack  -
First its the Millennial's and their thought process I.M.O.  They  see, " 
military ordnance", no perspective.

I would contact  Ebay - and in a nice way ask who at EBay made this 
decision  ?
"... contact our policy experts.  
http://ocsnext.ebay.com/ocs/cusr?query=508&domain=email1384 The are  not 
historical Genius over there.

Do what they said to do   just make a stink:
Contact the JEAP you can email them at  SMBLOGCOMJEAP at usmc.mil ask 
questions about items why these items were  asked to be  removed at the 
request of the DoD.  These are after  all vintage surplus Military items.

Contact DoD website is  http://www.defenselink.mil/  "Because the sale of 
many military items  is either prohibited or highly regulated by the 
government .... ", who is  responsible for putting these particular 
vintage Military items on a watch  list!?  What list and who is the 
author of the list?

I would  CC your Congressman, and Senator on all three communications 
just to make  them happy.  Let them do all the work Just start asking  
questions.

our Firearms, Weapons, and Knives policy. We  understand that you may not 
have been aware of this policy or that this may  have been an oversight, so 
we're including some policy information to help you  with your future 
listings. We also had to take the following  actions:
>   - Listings that didn't follow eBay guidelines  have been removed. A 
list of removed items is available further down in this  email.
>   - We have credited all associated fees except for  the final value fee 
for your listing(s).

grenades, most  of these items aren’t allowed on eBay.

>   Military  ordnance includes items such as weapons, ammunition, 
equipment, vehicles, and  their related parts. This restriction includes items that 
are considered  demilitarized, de-milled, or unserviceable. This is because 
we can't confirm  whether the items have been changed in ways that would 
make them safe and  legal to sell and transport.

>    At the request of the United States Department of Defense, your 
manuals were  removed. Questions about this action should be directed to the Joint 
Equipment  Assessment Program (JEAP) within the DoD, as we have no 
additional  information. To contact the JEAP you can email them at 
SMBLOGCOMJEAP at usmc.mil  with any questions about items removed at the request of the DoD. The 
DoD  website is http://www.defenselink.mil/ Because the sale of many 
military items  is either prohibited or highly regulated by the government, there 
are certain  items that can't be listed on eBay. This policy is in place to 
make sure  everyone is informed about the restrictions before listing any 
military items  on our site. As many of these items remain the property of the 
United States  Military or similar agencies, we do not allow them to be 
sold on  eBay.

be sure that your current and future listings follow  these guidelines. If 
they don’t, they'll be removed and we may, at our sole  discretion, decide 
not to refund your fees. It could also result in additional  actions, 
including loss of buying and selling privileges on  eBay.

of $ to generate  these lists of forbidden items. But there's a lot more 
stuff still on eBay  that either is just as silly or that could epresent a 
threat to the  U.S.
