What's the deal with eBay??

This auction was up the other day and then removed and relisted.

On the relist I guess seller opened a ration and removed the cigarettes and now you just get the box. Have seen others doing it as well citing an eBay policy on tobacco. The way I read it was:

"The following are exceptions that can be listed:
Collectible/vintage packages"
Doesn't say full or empty. I don't see how eBay would have a policy to make you open a vintage item to remove them. It's not like minors are buying these at $500 a ration to get four old cigarettes. So what's the problem? I've seen others mention in their auction it's a sealed vintage unit and not mention cigarettes. Really no need to I guess. Oh well - crazy if you ask me.
