I have already received what I bought, AR charging handle.

So I went to leave some good feedback for the seller and this was sitting there.
Any ideas what this is all about?

I got a similar message earlier this year when I bought two CZ52 mags from a seller.

Seller probably used a keyword in his listing that is on the no-no list ("AR", "rifle", etc.), and they removed his listing.

Yup, back when they allowed PMAGS I sold some and then they ceased the ads. I had already sold a few, the buyers freaked out but I still shipped everything. Since eBay cancelled the auction, I didn't have any listing fees or eBay fees. WIN!

I got that message a few years ago when I was the winning bidder on a factory Benelli mag extension.
About 1 minute before the auction was supposed to end Ebay pulled it.
Pissed me off, was a great deal.

As long as you avoid using the "wrong" keywords, you can sell AR parts all day. Hell, there's a guy selling monocore silencer baffles as "muzzle brakes". eBay would shit a brick if they knew about it.

There was a guy on TOS who ran Craigslist ads for stuff like "G23 Lead Dispenser", sold a lot of guns on there.

That was a glorious time. I also had a few listings canceled after the sale already went through, but before they charged me the fees.
