How was it worded in your description.
If a coin is misrepresented, I know that eBay will remove it.
Would need more information... full listing details and pictures. Cheers, RickO
Need to see the description of the item.
Ok
Because I miss spelled uncirculated ?
Please click on "Get more information" and show us what it says there.
It looks like it would fit under Collectibles/Coins & Money on Etsy:
https://www.etsy.com/c/art-and-collectibles/collectibles/coins?ref=catnav-66
I see they have a lot of counterfeit coins in this category.
I would say you misrepresented it as a proof like error coin. It is not proof like, what is the error? It looks like a normal uncirculated cent worth less than a dollar.
It is not a proof. What is the error?
You only show the Obverse so if the “error” is on the Reverse, we cannot see it.
Always show both sides of the coin when posting.
MY guess is that the so-called error is mechanical doubling at "IN GOD WE TRUST".
Although the coin isn't prooflike or an error, I'm still somewhat surprised that the listing was removed.

There is also the start of a RidgeRing, but that is not considered an error as it
is caused by Die Deterioration.
Perhaps someone reported to them that it is misrepresented as being something that it is clearly not.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.
I think that's almost a given. But there are many "error" listings which include misrepresentations and are reported, but allowed to remain active. And I did say that I was "somewhat surprised" (as opposed to "very surprised", "shocked" or "stunned") that the listing was removed.

I recommend using spell-check when listing and also be realistic when pricing. I also suggest being realistic with what the coin actually is. And, same as Mark, I, too, am a little surprised it was taken down.
The real question is not why was it deactivated, but why was it listed in the first place? 🤔
It's not any of the things you claim it is (except maybe uncirculated). Sort of like all those gold "discoveries" you've posted on the Precious Metals forum.
Honestly your account at any decent legit selling platform should be deactivated for selling coins like this with misleading if not downright dishonest descriptions. The coin you have shown has no errors that are visible, and has no proof like look of any sort.

Well I'm entitled to my opinion on the description . And you are no grading company and it's listed as ungraded.so any description is based on opinion. Do u have Lincoln cents in better condition then mine ?ungraded . I'll bet not . .
Many participants here probably have finer quality ungraded examples than yours. That's beside the point, however, as the issue isn't the technical condition of the coin. It's that you misrepresented it, by describing it proof-like and an error. You're entitled to your opinion, but it was incorrect.
You started this thread, asking why your listing might have been deactivated and you were given the most likely reasons by knowledgeable respondents. Hopefully you will learn from the replies, even if you didn't like them.

An opinion is one thing. Misrepresentation is another. I dont even collect Lincoln cents and I have better condition wheat ear cents than that ungraded.

Calling a non-error an error - especially in a sales listing - is not simply an opinion, it's fraudulent misrepresentation, particularly if you've been advised that it's incorrect.
Delusion and defiance are a dangerous combination.
Perhaps because of your spelling.

I'm surprised you didn't list that it was made out of gold, as well, since it appears most all of your threads are claiming to have found gold dust, gold nuggets or gold in any manner.

How u like them apples ?
And why does Lincoln have 3 eye balls ?
Is that a B.I.E error can list it as an error ?
“Is that a B.I.E. error can list it as an error?”
We will have to see a photo of it first. You are not showing one.
That is a beautiful corn collection.
The 55-S looks like a BIE die chip.
Please understand that uncirculated cents from the 50's are readily available in roll quantities.
I'm not sure where you pulled that $1500 price from, that is not even close to realistic.
Collector, occasional seller
I see it now, It would have helped if the OP had mentioned which one of
his multiple photos he was referring to.
Also a Die Chip is not an error so if you list it, list it as a BIE die chip.
Don't go spending that $1500 just yet. LMAO.
I'm glad to see that Etsy is finally doing something to clean up their listings. They've long been a home for scammers and/or people who simply don't know anything about coins but still list and put stupid prices on dirt common items just because they're shiny and/or have a nick or mark on them that they think is a rare error. I haven't looked at Etsy just recently but there used to be a guy on there trying to sell circ Bicentennial quarters for $2000 per and a group of beater Indian cents for $10K.

One of your highlighted coins shows obvious Machine/Mechanical Doubling (MD). Do you know what that is?
Yep.... the gold processing adventure probably did not 'pan' out .... so it is now on to more areas I take it.
Unfortunately, same as before, not listening to advice here. Are you an 'alt' and just have nothing better to do, than to try to yank others around?
You have a couple nice wheat cents there, machine doubling on Lincoln's face, no way to see anything in the group shot. The BIE die chips are collectable and carry a small premium.
Why does it have to be ungraded?
. 
A lot of people here can grade just as good as PCGS or NGC, but you are obviously an ignorant novice or a troll.
Why am I even typing this?

I agree, and the last sentence had me dying.

I put myself here because of that last sentence.
Edit: (from the jailhouse)
@Owlx, you are coning-in a little hot. You have a great album collection, but some of the fellas here are pretty heavy hitters. (mind you, I am not one of them... just providing friendly advice; newbie-to-newbie)
I am a newer collector (started April 2020), and I primarily focus on U.S. Half Cents and Type Coins. Early copper is my favorite.
