Why This Happens

This covers a wide range — weapon parts, medical and health devices, recalled products, hazardous materials, event tickets above face value, and category-specific restrictions many sellers don't know exist. First offenses on genuinely ambiguous items are frequently recoverable with immediate cleanup and a compliance commitment.
