Why can't I mention locksmith tools on Ebay?

I am trying to sell my van on Ebay UK and they keep removing my listing as the van contains all the tools needed to set up a locksmith business. I have now tried listing it without mentioning locks, my trade, lock picking etc but have hinted a lot. do you think they will accept it now?

Listing number 230123253220

Have a look and tell me how I can improve it please!

    I know they have been asked a lot of online sellers to remove all post pertaining to "bump keys", lock picks, etc.

    I can tell the object in the blurry picture cuts key blanks.

    I think I would post it as a small business for sale. Open to anyone who is interested in learning the trade via the appropriate channels.

    You might contact ebay. I think a lot of the rules you are talking about were intended to stop the sale of tools through the mail, because it was violating certain country laws (such as here in the US).

    If you were a located in my area I could probably get you an offer on only the tools, which would allow you sell the van as a non-specific work vehicle.

    I have a friend who is going to the FBI after school and I know he would kill for a complete set of everything. But since it would be such hell brining the tools into the US, I wish you the best of luck.

    I'd post it on craigslist.org as well

    Make sure you stress about the postage charge. My God, people get irrate when the shipping is more than the item. Good luck. I'm trying to sell my neighbors car in the newspaper.
