This is the email I've had about UK restrictions
Now why does this not seem to apply to the rest of the world or am I taking it too personally?
One of our new initiatives limits the amount of items reportedly most
favoured by counterfeiters that a seller can list in a given period of
time. The site will only allow each individual seller to list a certain
number of these items before placing a restriction on the seller's
account. If your account is restricted from listing further items, you
won't be able to revise your listings as the site will view the revised
listing as a new listing and block it.
There are also certain items that are further restricted. If you
inadvertently try to list a restricted item, an error message with
further information will pop up to let you know which restriction is
being breached. I'm afraid we don't share any further information about
specific restrictions. By revealing this information we could help
members intent on circumventing these initiatives to avoid detection.
For more information about our "Building Trust by Reducing Counterfeits"
initiative, please copy this link into a new browser window:

Please understand that these initiatives are designed to protect all of
our members from fraud and counterfeits. We appreciate your
understanding and cooperation.
I realise that this may not be the answer that you'd anticipated, but I
hope that this information helps to clarify our position for you.
Kind regards,
eBay Trust & Safety
